Answer:

Polar easterlies occur between the poles and reach 60 degrees latitude in the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

Westerlies also known as prevailing westerlies occurs at approximately between 30 degrees and 60 degrees latitudes in both Northern and Southern hemispheres.

Trade winds also known as tropical easterlies occur from 30 degrees North latitude and 30 degrees South latitude.
