Trade winds are primarily found in the tropics, blowing from east to west between approximately 30 degrees latitude north and south of the equator. The westerlies, on the other hand, are located in the mid-latitudes, blowing from west to east between about 30 and 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres. These wind patterns are crucial for shaping global weather and climate systems.
What else can I help you with?
What winds blow diagonally from east to west?
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.
Where on Earths surface might you be if you are experiencing the westerlies?
You would likely be between 30 to 60 degrees latitude in the northern and southern hemispheres. The westerlies are prevailing winds that blow from the west to the east in these regions due to the Earth's rotation and atmospheric circulation patterns.
Does trade wind cause earths rotation?
No, trade winds are caused by the Earth's rotation. The Coriolis effect, a result of the Earth's rotation, deflects the path of air masses to create the trade winds. These winds blow from east to west near the equator and are an important part of the Earth's atmospheric circulation system.
What wind happens on earth?
The fatest winds on earth occur in violent tornadoes. How strong the winds can actually get is not known for certain, as measurements are rare. The highest recorded wind speed was a gust to 302 mph recorded in the F5 tornado that devastated the Oklahoma City area on May 3, 1999.
How does the sun influence winds on Earth?
The energy from the Sun does not influence the global winds, it causes them. Without the Sun's energy, there would be no atmospheric movement - your question implies something else causes the global winds and the Sun modifies these. This is not the case.
Which winds would columbus have needed to return to europe?
The westerlies.

Where on Earth's surface might you be if you are experiencing the westerlies?
You would likely be between 30 and 60 degrees latitude in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The westerlies are prevailing winds that blow from the west towards the east at these latitudes.
Why do the global winds curve like they do?
Global winds are caused by unequal heating of the Earth's surface and they curve because... If the Earth did not rotate, Global Winds would not curve. They would be straight as a line. So because of EARTH'S ROTATION, global winds curve.

Which winds would Christopher Columbus use to return to Europe?
it is the trade winds that brought Columbus ships to the Caribbean
What kind of wind blows across the US?
I would say it's the westerly winds, seeing as how they are usually going east.

What winds would Columbus have used to travel from Spain to the?
The Trade Winds.
What changes might you expect to see in the Earth's general circulation if the Earth's rotation were in the opposite direction?
If Earth's rotation were in the opposite direction, the coriolis effect would be reversed, leading to the reversal of atmospheric circulation patterns. Trade winds and westerlies would blow in the opposite direction, affecting global weather patterns. Ocean currents and storm tracks would also be impacted, potentially leading to different climate patterns on Earth.
What are prevaling winds?
Prevailing Winds- Are winds that 'normally' blow in the same direction over large areas of Earth. For instance the prevailing winds across the Island forming the United Kingdom would be south westerlies.
