🔍 Key Concepts

• Prevailing westerlies in mid-latitudes • General circulation of the atmosphere between about 30° and 60° latitude • Difference between wind direction (where it comes FROM) and movement of weather systems

💭 Think About

• Think about what the main belt of winds is called in the middle latitudes and which way those winds generally blow. • Consider the direction low-pressure systems and fronts usually move across the United States and North Atlantic charts. • Eliminate any options that describe typical polar or tropical trade wind patterns instead of mid-latitude patterns.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear that mid-latitudes means roughly 30°–60° north and south, not the tropics or polar regions. • Remember that weather systems move with the steering winds aloft, especially the prevailing westerlies in these latitudes. • Check which answer choice matches the typical movement of frontal systems across standard synoptic weather charts.
