From where do the trade winds originate? (A) From the subtropical high-pressure zone (B) From the subpolar low-pressure zone (C) From the equatorial low-pressure zone (D) From the polar high-pressure zone

Trade winds originate in the Subtropical High-Pressure belts (Horse Latitudes). In these regions, air from the upper atmosphere sinks, creating high pressure at the surface. This air then flows toward the low pressure at the equator. Because of the Earth’s rotation, these winds are deflected, providing the steady “trade” flow used by historical mariners. ANSWER: (A) From the subtropical high-pressure zone
