Question

what is the name for the winds indicated by the arrows?
a easterlies
b jet streams
c trade winds
d westerlies

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The arrows show winds blowing from the subtropical high-pressure belts (around 30°N/S) toward the equatorial low-pressure belt. In the Northern Hemisphere, these winds curve right to blow from the northeast, and in the Southern Hemisphere, they curve left to blow from the southeast—this matches the definition of trade winds. Easterlies blow from polar regions, westerlies blow between 30° and 60° latitude, and jet streams are high-altitude narrow wind currents, none of which match the arrows' position and direction.

Answer:

C. trade winds
