What is an example of prevailing winds?
The trade winds are an example of prevailing winds. They blow from the subtropical high pressure zones toward the equator and are consistent in direction and strength.
What direction do south winds come from?
South winds come from the south, or in other words, they blow in a direction from south to north.
What is the difference between permanent winds and periodic winds?
Permanent winds are winds that pretty much always blow, and blow in the same direction. Periodic winds are that are somehow tied to the seasons. Like in spring it's generally northerly and in autumn it's generally southerly. Or something along those lines.
What type of winds are part of large patterns of circulation that come from the same direction?
Prevailing winds are part of large patterns of circulation that come from the same direction. These winds are the dominant winds that blow consistently in a specific direction over a particular region.
In winters the winds blow in the opposite direction and is dry what are the winds called?
Monsoons.
What is an example of prevailing winds?
The trade winds are an example of prevailing winds. They blow from the subtropical high pressure zones toward the equator and are consistent in direction and strength.
How are the prevailing winds set up and what factors influence their direction and strength?
The prevailing winds are set up by the Earth's rotation and the distribution of heat from the sun. Factors that influence their direction and strength include the Coriolis effect, pressure gradients, and the distribution of land and water on the Earth's surface.
What is tradewinds?
Winds that blow almost always in one direction, from the northeast to the equator, are trade winds. They are surface winds that are found in the tropics that have a prevailing easterly pattern.
What direction do southeast winds blow from?
Wind direction is always given as the direction from which it is blowing. If there is a southeast wind, it is coming from the southeast, and facing "into it" would have you facing southeast. Many meteorologists will clarify this by saying "winds are out of the southeast."
Is there any relationship between earth revolution and direction of movement of airplane?
No, not really. But the Earth's winds, likes the westerlies or the easterlies, are affected by Earth's rotation. These winds affect aeroplanes. Therefore, the Earth's revolution indirectly affects the direction of movement of aeroplanes.
In which direction do winds always blow?
Wind can blow from any direction. Please clarifi. -Jonhis
What are four wind characteristics that determine sea state?
The strength of the wind, the direction the winds blowing, the duration the wind blows, and ocean fetch.
Are winds named for the direction they flow to or the direction they flow from?
Winds are named for the direction they flow from. For example, a northeast wind comes from the northeast direction.
What are trading winds?
You mean trade winds. And they are winds that normally blow in the same direction on a regular basis.
What are global winds that blow from the same direction?
prevailing winds
What direction do south winds come from?
South winds come from the south, or in other words, they blow in a direction from south to north.
What is wind that blows most frequently across a wind belt?
The prevailing winds are the winds that blow most frequently across a wind belt. These winds are driven by global atmospheric circulation patterns and are consistent in their direction and strength over a long period of time.
