Answer» i. Easterlies blow from mid latitudinal high pressure belt to equatorial low pressure belt in the northern hemisphere ii. Westerlies blow from north west to south east in the southern hemisphere iii. The Westerlies blow from mid latitudinal high pressure belts to subpolar low pressure belts in the northern hemisphere iv. The rotation of the earth causes the change in the direction of winds in both the hemisphere. So polar winds blow from northeast to south west in the northern hemisphere & from south east to northwest in the southern hemisphere. v. Easterlies, Westerlies and Polar Winds blow in the southern hemisphere. vi. Easterlies blow from northeast to southeast in northern hemisphere & from southeast to northwest in the southern hemisphere. |
