Answer 2

Trade winds in the northern hemisphere blow from 'East to West'

Step-by-step explanation:

• Trade winds blow from west to east in the 'Northern Hemisphere' and are known as prevailing winds.

• The tilt of the axis of the earth and the Coriolis force, the winds in the "northern hemisphere" are forced to move towards the right. In the 'southern hemisphere', the reverse happens.

• The rotation of the earth and the 'coriolis force' make the wind move towards the left and therefore trade winds blow from 'east to west'.
