Prevailing winds can be used to help navigate ships and sailboats around the Earth by sea.
You can sail a ship around this world even against the wind using wind energy. By picking up speed using wind then use kinetic energy gained to sail against the wind direction. So, yes, even with one wind direction we can sail the globe both ways.

ReneOne wind system that can be used for travel around Earth is the trade winds. These winds blow consistently in a westerly direction in the tropics, making them ideal for sailing long distances across oceans. By taking advantage of the trade winds, sailors can harness their power to navigate efficiently around the globe.

What do you mean about global wind system?
The global wind system is a pattern of prevailing wind movements that circulate around the Earth in response to the differential heating of the atmosphere by the sun. It includes the trade winds, westerlies, and polar easterlies, which help regulate weather patterns and climate on a global scale.
What is pattern of wind movement around the earth?
The wind movement around the Earth is influenced by a combination of factors including the rotation of the Earth, pressure gradients, and land-sea temperature differences. This leads to the formation of global wind patterns such as the trade winds, westerlies, and polar easterlies. These wind patterns play a crucial role in shaping the Earth's weather and climate.
What is the strong eastwand winds blowing around the earth?
it is called wind.
How is wind made for kids?
Wind is created by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. When air is warmed, it rises and cooler air rushes in to take its place, creating wind. This constant movement of air around the Earth is what we feel as wind.
Who was the person who invented the system that measures wind speeds?
The person who invented the system that measures wind speeds was Dr. John Thomas Romney Robinson. This was a device that spun around when the wind hit little cups, invented in 1864.
