Answer:
(1). The westetlies, anti-tides, or prevailing westetlies, are prevailing winds from the west towards the east in the middle latitudes between 30 and 60 degrees latitude they originate from the high pressure areas In the horse latitudes and trend towards the poles and steer extratropical cyclones in this general manner
Question :
What are called westerlies ?
Ans : The name of these unique winds comes from the direction of their origin; the westerlies run west to east while other winds run east to west.
This distinction is due to the air pressure over the poles during the winter.
Lower pressure means stronger westerly winds.

Question :
What effect does temperature have on air pressure ?
Ans : Warm air is less dense and has a lower pressure associated with it.
As the sun heats the ground, the air near the ground warms.
Remember, heat is less dense than cold air so the warm air will rise.
This rising motion creates a natural vacuum lowering the air pressure at the Earth's surface.
