Question

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

Explanation:

The three global wind belts in each hemisphere (Northern and Southern) are:

1. Trade Winds: Blow from the subtropical high - pressure zones (around 30° latitude) towards the equatorial low - pressure zone (around 0° latitude). In the Northern Hemisphere, they blow from the northeast, and in the Southern Hemisphere, from the southeast. Latitude range: approximately 0°–30° N and 0°–30° S.
2. Westerlies: Originate from the subtropical high - pressure zones (around 30° latitude) and move towards the subpolar low - pressure zones (around 60° latitude). In the Northern Hemisphere, they blow from the southwest, and in the Southern Hemisphere, from the northwest. Latitude range: approximately 30°–60° N and 30°–60° S.
3. Polar Easterlies: Come from the polar high - pressure zones (around 90° latitude) and flow towards the subpolar low - pressure zones (around 60° latitude). In the Northern Hemisphere, they blow from the northeast, and in the Southern Hemisphere, from the southeast. Latitude range: approximately 60°–90° N and 60°–90° S.

Answer:

1. Trade Winds - Latitude range: 0°–30° N and 0°–30° S
2. Westerlies - Latitude range: 30°–60° N and 30°–60° S
3. Polar Easterlies - Latitude range: 60°–90° N and 60°–90° S
