Answer:

here is ur answer buddy...

Explanation:

(((((()))))Trade Winds=1 The winds blowing permanently from the subtropical belts of high pressure towards the equatorial belt of low pressure are called the trade winds.

2) They blow from Southeast to northwest in the southern hemisphere and from northeast to southwest in the northern hemisphere.

3) The trade winds of the northern hemisphere are called the northeast trades and those of the southern hemisphere are called the southeast trades.

4) The trade winds blow between 5° and 30° north and south latitudes.

(((((()))))))Westerlies = 1) Prevailing winds blowing from subtropical belts of high pressure towards sub polar belts of low pressure are known as the westerlies.

2) They blow from southwest to northeast in the Northern hemisphere and from northwest to southeast in the southern hemisphere.

3) Because the direction of the westerlies is opposite to that of the trade winds, the westerlies are called anti-trades also.

4) They generally prevail between 30° And 60° of latitudes in both the hemisphere.
