Coriolis effect
Global winds blow sideways due to the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the Earth's rotation. As the Earth rotates, the winds are deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This causes the winds to move in a more east-west direction rather than straight north-south.
South-west.
The global winds that blow constantly from the same direction and cover a large part of the earth's surface are called the Trade Winds.
The warmth of the Sun creates temperature differences that change the direction of the wind.

The global winds that blow constantly from the same direction and cover a large part of the earth's surface are called the Trade Winds.
Global winds are named based on the direction from which they blow and the region in which they are located. For example, the polar easterlies blow from the east near the poles, the westerlies blow from the west in mid-latitudes, and the trade winds blow from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere.
When winds blow parallel to the isobars, this is known as geostrophic flow. Geostrophic winds occur at high altitudes where the Coriolis force balances the pressure gradient force. This results in straight, parallel wind lines with minimal curvature.
The Coriolis effect causes global winds to appear to turn instead of blowing straight across the Earth's surface. This effect is the result of the Earth's rotation and causes moving air or water to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
