What are the three surface winds?

There are three prevailing wind belts associated with these cells: the trade winds, the prevailing westerlies, and the polar easterlies (Fig. 3.10). Fig. 3.10 only shows the circulation cells and winds in the Northern Hemisphere.

How do you describe wind in English?

In simple terms, wind is the movement of air. This movement is caused by pressure differences, which in turn were caused by temperature differences. In other words, it all starts with the sun. As the sun warms the earth's surface, the atmosphere warms too.

What are the surface wind zones?

The Earth contains five major wind zones: polar easterlies, westerlies, horse latitudes, trade winds, and the doldrums. Polar easterlies are dry, cold prevailing winds that blow from the east. They emanate from the polar highs, areas of high pressure around the North and South Poles.

What are surface winds called?

Surface winds are also known as trade winds as they were used to determine where sailing ships could travel easily to trade. These winds curve as they blow across the surface because they are distorted by the rotation of the Earth. Trade winds in the tropics blow tropical storms from east to west.
