What prevents wind from blowing directly from the south pole to the north?
the rotation of the earth
What prevents wind from blowing directly for the north pole to the south pole?
The coriolis effect
If you wanted to travel from antarctica to the equator in would you head?
Easy, north! The equator is also zero degrees latitude.
How does latitude distances from the equator compare?
To the equator. Imagine that you are right at the very center of the earth. As you look through to the earth's surface, you see that as you turn left or right the equator is perfectly, exactly straight ahead. That is zero degrees latitude. As you scan upward you will measure degrees keeping your view of the equator as your base. Half way between the equator and 'straight up' will be 45 degrees north latitude (along with every other point on the circle you can draw parallel to the equator. The north pole, straight up, is 90 degrees north latitude. Again, starting with zero at the equator, you can measure south until you reach the south pole, straight down, at 90 degrees south latitude.
What are the due north of the Equator?
The North Pole is due north of the Equator.
Westerlies blow at a curve between 10 and 60 degrees north and south of the equator. What prevents these winds from blowing in a straight line?

What direction is the wind blowing at Coors Field if it is blowing straight out from Home Plate to straightaway center field?
North west
What prevents one from blowing directly from the North Pole to the South Pole?
The curvature of the Earth is one barrier to prohibit you from blowing directly from one pole to the other.

Where is the sun in the autumnal equinox?
Exactly straight over the equator. It's a tiny bit north of the equator just before the Autumnal Equinox, and a tiny bit south of the equator just after it. In other words, the sun is 'moving' south. At the Vernal Equinox, it's also precisely over the equator, but 'moving' north.
What prevents wind from blowing directly from the North Pole to the South Pole?
cold air drops then it rises, then as soon as it hits the pole. It drops.The Coriolis effect
Lagos north or south of the equator?
Lagos is north of the equator.
What are the due north of the Equator?
The North Pole is due north of the Equator.
