🔍 Key Concepts

• Global wind belts and how they are arranged from the Equator toward the poles • Difference between trade winds, westerlies, and polar easterlies • How these wind belts relate to the 30° and 60° latitude bands in each hemisphere

💭 Think About

• First, mentally sketch or recall the three main wind zones in each hemisphere from the Equator to the pole; then place the westerlies among them. • Ask yourself: in which latitude band do winds typically blow from the west toward the east in mid‑latitudes? • Eliminate any options that clearly represent the equatorial calm/trade wind area or the high‑latitude polar wind area rather than mid‑latitudes.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know that westerlies blow from west to east and are found in the mid‑latitudes. • Verify which latitude band is commonly called the horse latitudes and which one is associated with the polar front; the westerlies lie between these two. • Double‑check that the chosen range does NOT correspond to the doldrums (equatorial calm belt) or the polar easterlies region.
