give an example for all of them
Coriolis effect – the movement of air and water to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere as a result of Earth’s rotation
polar easterlies – cold winds that blow from east to west between 60°N and 90°N and between 60°S and 90°S
trade winds – winds that blow from east to west from between 30°N and 30°S
westerlies – winds that blow from west to east between 30°N and 60°N and between 30°S and 60°S
Example: The Coriolis effect can be seen in the way hurricanes in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise and in the southern hemisphere, they rotate clockwise.
Example: The polar easterlies bring cold air and snow to regions like the Arctic and Antarctic.
Example: The trade winds help sailors navigate across oceans, as they blow consistently from east to west.
Example: The westerlies are responsible for the weather patterns in many temperate regions, bringing storms and precipitation from west to east.
