` Coriolis effect is caused by Earth’s rotation. Wind is turned to the right relative of Earth’s surface in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left relative.

Wind. What causes wind? Differences in heat and pressure cause winds. Cold air is more dense and creates more pressure. Different parts of the Earth receive.

Westerly Winds G. VanNada

What are they? Tropical cyclones that cross the subtropical ridge axis into the Westerlies recurve due to increased westerly flow. The winds are predominantly from the southwest in the Northern Hemisphere and from the northwest in the Southern Hemisphere

Westerly Winds are known as prevailing winds originate from high-pressure areas play an important role in carrying warm equatorial waters and winds to the western coasts of continents

Westerly means of the west or towards the west
