Trade winds are steady, prevailing winds that blow from east to west in the tropics, primarily between the latitudes of about 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south. They are caused by the differential heating of the Earth's surface and the Coriolis effect, which influences wind patterns. These winds play a crucial role in global weather patterns and ocean currents, impacting tropical climates and navigation for sailing vessels. The trade winds have historically been significant for maritime exploration and trade routes.
