Explanation:

1. The trade winds are those blowing from the sub-tropical high pressure areas towards the equatorial low pressure belt. These are confined to a region between 30°N and 30°S throughout the earth’s surface. They flow as the north-eastern trades in the northern hemisphere and the south-eastern trades in the southern hemisphere.

2. The westerlies are the winds blowing from the sub-tropical high pressure belts towards the sub polar low pressure belts. They blow from southwest to north-east in the northern hemisphere and north-west to south-east in the southern hemisphere. The westerlies are best developed between 40° and 65°S latitudes.

3. The Polar easterlies are dry, cold prevailing winds blowing from north-east to south-west direction in Northern Hemisphere and south-east to north-west in Southern Hemisphere.
They blow from the polar high-pressure areas of the sub-polar low.

4. An interchange of air between the land and oceans due to unequal heating and cooling of continents and oceans is known as monsoon winds.
