Trade Winds Shape Navigation Through Global Air Flow
The text explains how surface winds move from north and south toward the equator, then rise and flow away in opposite directions. Faster east–west earth rotation at the equator retards winds relative to higher latitudes, causing deflection. This deflection turns north winds into southwest flows and south winds into northwest flows, creating the trade winds named for their navigational value.
