Question

  1. name the 3 global wind belts found in each hemisphere and give their latitude range.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The three global wind belts in each hemisphere are: 1. Trade Winds: Found between 0° - 30° latitude (near the equator, blowing towards the equator from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and southeast in the Southern Hemisphere). 2. Westerlies: Occur between 30° - 60° latitude, blowing from the southwest in the Northern Hemisphere and northwest in the Southern Hemisphere towards the poles. 3. Polar Easterlies: Located between 60° - 90° latitude, blowing from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and southeast in the Southern Hemisphere towards the lower latitudes near the poles.

Answer:

  1. Trade Winds - Latitude range: 0° - 30° (Northern Hemisphere: Northeast Trade Winds; Southern Hemisphere: Southeast Trade Winds)
  2. Westerlies - Latitude range: 30° - 60° (Northern Hemisphere: Southwest Westerlies; Southern Hemisphere: Northwest Westerlies)
  3. Polar Easterlies - Latitude range: 60° - 90° (Northern Hemisphere: Northeast Polar Easterlies; Southern Hemisphere: Southeast Polar Easterlies)
