Answer:
The trade winds occur between 30° N or S to the equator.
Step-by-step explanation:
- The Earth has certain latitudes which are covered by winds flowing permanently in 'one direction'.
- One such wind system is that of the 'easterlies', also known as the 'trade winds'.
- These flow permanently to the west from the east between 30° north and 30° south to the equator.
- The wind system gets its name from its attribute of proving helpful to the merchant ships that moved from the east to the west in the medieval period.
