Do Tropical Easterlies Blow Away from the Equator?

Tropical Easterlies- Tropical Easterlies take direction in an east to west flow because of the rotation of the Earth. As air from the equator rises, it gets warmer and when it cools down, it comes back down to the equator. ... They blow from west to east and occur in the clement part of the Earth.

Do westerlies blow towards the equator?

When it is negative and pressures are higher over the poles, the flow is more meridional, blowing from the direction of the pole towards the Equator, which brings cold air into the mid-latitudes. Throughout the year, the westerlies vary in strength with the polar cyclone.

In which direction do the tropical winds blow?

Answer: The surface air that flows from these subtropical high-pressure belts toward the Equator is deflected toward the west in both hemispheres by the Coriolis effect. These winds blow predominantly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere.
