The wind blows east and west primarily due to the Earth's rotation and the uneven heating of its surface. As the sun heats different areas, warm air rises and creates low-pressure zones, while cooler areas have high pressure. The Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, deflects moving air to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, influencing wind direction. Additionally, global wind patterns, such as the trade winds, contribute to the prevailing easterly and westerly winds.
Ode to the West Wind was created in 1819.
east-west west-east north-west and so on
its because the railroads goes more to the east and the west
West Africa.
During WW2 I believe that Germany was divided between east and west, thats why they have the Berlin wall.
No, it blows from west to east.
The west wind blows from west to east. It originates in the west and moves towards the east.
East To West.
A wind heading west is called a westerly wind. These winds blow from the west towards the east.
The wind will blow from the high pressure in the west towards the low pressure in the east. This is because wind moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure to try to equalize the pressure difference.

The prevailing wind in West Bridgewater, MA blows predominantly from the west. This means it generally comes from the west and moves towards the east in that area.
This would in fact be the Polar Easterlies. Winds from the north blow south, but are pushed from east to west by the Westerlies which forces the wind into a diagonal direction.
No, California's winds typically blow from west to east due to the prevailing westerly winds that come off the Pacific Ocean. However, there are certain regional variations in wind patterns across the state caused by factors such as topography and local weather systems.
Per weather.com:"WIND DIRECTION: The direction from which the wind is blowing. For example, an easterly wind is blowing from the east, not toward the east. It is reported with reference to true north, or 360 degrees on the compass, and expressed to the nearest 10 degrees, or to one of the 16 points of the compass (N, NE, WNW, etc.). " (emphasis added)http://www.weather.com/glossary/w.html
Oh my..... They blow from north east to south west. A wind direction is the way it is coming from.
Global winds on Earth are typically labeled based on the direction from which they originate. For example, trade winds blow from east to west, westerlies blow from west to east, and polar easterlies blow from east to west near the poles. These wind patterns are important for understanding global atmospheric circulation.
