🔍 Key Concepts

• Global wind belts and their typical latitude ranges • How Earth’s rotation (Coriolis effect) influences wind direction in the mid‑latitudes • Difference between trade winds and westerlies

💭 Think About

• Which wind system is typically found in the mid‑latitudes, between the subtropical highs (~30°) and the polar front (~60°)? • Which of these choices are known to blow from the east and which are known to blow from the west in the Northern Hemisphere? • Look at the word parts: how do terms like “trade”, “westerly”, “northeast”, and “southeast” usually describe wind direction and common regions?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match the latitude band 30°N–60°N with its proper global circulation cell (Hadley, Ferrel, or Polar) and then recall the associated wind belt name. • Eliminate options that are known to occur closer to the equator (around 0°–30°). • Confirm which option describes winds that generally blow from west to east in the Northern Hemisphere mid‑latitudes.
