What global wind belt causes newly formed tropical storms or hurricanes to travel in a westerly directional?
The global wind belt that causes newly formed tropical storms or hurricanes to travel in a westerly direction is the Trade Winds. These winds blow from east to west in the tropics and play a crucial role in steering tropical storms. As storms develop over warm ocean waters, the Trade Winds push them westward toward continental landmasses. This movement is particularly prominent in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
