Question

d for this assignment.
which winds did early explorers prefer to use in their travels?
○ horse latitudes
○ trade winds
○ doldrums
○ polar easterlies

Explanation:

Early explorers relied on consistent, predictable winds for ocean travel. Trade winds are steady, reliable winds that blow from the subtropics toward the equator, making them ideal for long-distance sea voyages. Horse latitudes are areas of calm, weak winds; doldrums are also calm, windless regions near the equator; polar easterlies are cold, inconsistent winds near the poles, none of which were preferred by early explorers for travel.

Answer:

B. trade winds
