What are the winds called that blow from the subtropical high-pressure zone towards the equatorial low-pressure zone?
This is the technical definition of trade winds. They are the surface winds of the tropical atmospheric circulation. They move from the high-pressure “Horse Latitudes” (subtropical highs) to the low-pressure “Doldrums” (equatorial lows). Because of the Coriolis effect, they blow from the Northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and the Southeast in the Southern Hemisphere. ANSWER: (C) Trade winds
