The Coriolis effect bends them
The trade winds (northeast or southeast depending on which hemisphere you're in) blow towards the Equator.
Trade winds
Global winds and currents near the equator flow east to west. The global wind belt located north and south of the equator is called trade winds.
The Coriolis effect bends them
Trade winds are found in the tropics in the lower section of the troposphere near the Earth's equator. The trade winds blow predominantly from the north-east in the Northern Hemisphere and from the south-east in the Southern Hemisphere.

Trade winds
No, the trade winds do not occur on the equator. The trade winds are typically located between 30 degrees North and South of the equator. At the equator, the winds are generally weaker and form the doldrums, also known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone.

The area around the equator where trade winds meet are called
a wind blowing steadily towards the equator is called trade winds
The trade winds coming from the north and the south meet near the equator. They produce upward winds and are heated.
The winds that blow from east to west between the tropics and the equator are called trade winds. They are caused by the rotation of the Earth and the pressure differences between the equator and the poles. Trade winds are important for sailing and aviation routes.
