Mostly the Trade winds because hurricanes form and spend much of their life in the tropics. Some of them then move to the mid-latitudes, where they are affected by the Westerlies.

How does the Coriolis force effect modify air movement?

The Coriolis force deflects moving air to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere due to Earth's rotation. This deflection influences the direction of air movement, creating unique patterns like the trade winds and westerlies in the global circulation system, as well as impacting the formation of weather systems and ocean currents.


Do global winds directly cause deep currents?

Global winds do not directly cause deep currents. Deep ocean currents are primarily driven by differences in water density, which are influenced by temperature and salinity. While global winds can indirectly affect the distribution and movement of deep currents through their impact on surface currents and mixing processes, they are not the primary driving force.

What type of winds blow hurricanes across the Atlantic ocean?

Hurricanes are primarily driven by easterly winds called trade winds near the equator and westerly winds known as the westerlies in higher latitudes. These winds help steer hurricanes across the Atlantic Ocean.
