gravity
In the tropical latitudes, trade winds push currents westward across the oceans. This is known as the tropical gyre circulation pattern. The trade winds create the Equatorial Currents, which flow towards the west in both the northern and southern hemispheres.
In Australia, we usually get storms from the west or southwest direction. I dont know why, but it is very rare for them to come from any other direction, and if they do it is usually from the east or south east direction
Most counter currents near the equator flow westward, in the opposite direction to the predominant eastward-flowing equatorial currents, such as the Equatorial Undercurrent. These counter currents help redistribute heat and nutrients in the ocean and play a crucial role in the global climate system.
On the average, it most often blow horizontally.
It depends on the type of cyclone. Tropical cyclones generally travel westward, often makinf a turn poleward (north in the northern hemisphere and south in the southern). Mid-latitude cyclones generally travel eastward. Polar lows usually travel westward.
Trade wind belts push currents westward in tropical latitudes.

Columbus traveled westward because he followed the winds.

In what direction did the tropical cyclone move?
A tropical cyclone in its early stages is called a tropical low.
westward
Tropical cyclones move in a westerly direction due to the trade winds blowing from east to west in the tropics. The Coriolis effect also influences the cyclone's direction, causing it to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. These combined effects result in the overall westward movement of tropical cyclones.
Most counter currents near the equator flow westward, in the opposite direction to the predominant eastward-flowing equatorial currents, such as the Equatorial Undercurrent. These counter currents help redistribute heat and nutrients in the ocean and play a crucial role in the global climate system.
The trade winds are located about 30 degrees north and south of the equator. They blow consistently in a westward direction in tropical regions, influencing global weather patterns and ocean currents.
On the average, it most often blow horizontally.
