If Carly wants to add wind belts for the part of the Atlantic just south of the equator how should she draw the arrows?

Carly should draw the wind arrows in a northeast to southwest direction for the trade winds in the Atlantic just south of the equator. These winds, known as the Southeast Trade Winds, flow from the subtropical high-pressure areas towards the equator and are deflected westward due to the Coriolis effect. This will accurately represent the typical wind patterns in that region.


If you live in South America at the equator in which direction does the wind blow?

In South America at the equator, the wind primarily blows from east to west due to the trade winds. These trade winds are part of the larger Hadley cell circulation, where warm air rises at the equator and cooler air moves in to replace it, creating prevailing easterly winds. Additionally, local variations may occur due to geographic features, but the dominant wind direction remains easterly.
