Hope it will help you

Explanation:

The trade winds are the permanent east-to-west prevailing winds that flow in the Earth's equatorial region (between 30°N and 30°S latitudes). They are also called easterlies. The trade winds blow predominantly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere, strengthening during the winter and when the Arctic oscillation is in its warm phase. Trade winds have been used by captains of sailing ships to cross the world's oceans for centuries, and enabled colonial expansion into the Americas and trade routes to become established across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

Answer:

1.The trade winds are the permanent east-to-west prevailing winds that flow in the Earth's equatorial region. They are also called easterlies.

2.The trade winds are winds that blow toward the equator. They are located between 0 and 30 latitude, north and south of the equator.

3.Trade winds have a big influence on the climate to the north and to the south of the equator. The main effects are: Continuous removal of humidity from the areas around the tropics = desertification. Continuous supply of humidity to the equator region = rain forest.
