❂ The trade winds blow from the sub-tropical high pressure belts to the equatorial low pressure belts.
❂ These winds are known as the North-East Trades in the northern hemisphere and the South-East Trade in the southern hemisphere.
❂ Trade winds were named so by the sailors as these winds helped them to sail their ships carrying commercial goods from Europe to Africa and Asia and to the Americas.
