The 'Polar Easterlies' are cold, dry planetary winds that blow from the polar high pressure belts towards the subpolar low pressure belts, generally blowing from the:
A.
South towards the north exclusively, with no easterly component
The apparent deflection of winds (and other moving objects) due to the Earth's rotation, causing winds to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, is known as the:
A.
Ferrel's Law (a related concept describing the same phenomenon)
B.
Coriolis Effect (Force)
C.
Buys Ballot's Law (a related but distinct principle)
Ferrel's Law, closely related to the Coriolis effect, states that winds are deflected to their right in the Northern Hemisphere and to their left in the Southern Hemisphere, due to the:
The equatorial belt characterised by calm, light, and variable winds, associated with the rising air of the Equatorial Low pressure zone, is commonly known as the:
The subtropical belt, located around 30 degrees North and South latitude, characterised by calm winds and descending, stable air, historically associated with sailing ships being becalmed, is known as the:
The strong, persistent westerly winds found in the Southern Hemisphere between approximately 40 and 50 degrees South latitude, known for their considerable strength due to the vast uninterrupted ocean expanse, are commonly called the:
