    Both 1 and 2

    Incorrect Answer

    None of the above

    Correct Answer
    Explanation:

    South-East trade Winds blow in the Southern Hemisphere. North-east trade winds flow in Northern Hemisphere. The surface air that flows from these subtropical high-pressure belts toward the Equator is deflected toward the west in both hemispheres by the Coriolis Effect. These winds blow predominantly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere. Because winds are named for the direction from which the wind is blowing, these winds are called the north-easterly trade winds in the Northern Hemisphere and the south-easterly trade winds in the Southern Hemisphere. The trade winds of both hemispheres meet at the doldrums.
