The prevailing winds blow west to east primarily between 30°N and 60°N latitude, as well as between 30°S and 60°S latitude. Therefore, the correct response from your options would be:
between 30°N and 60°N latitude.

What is the difference between the trade winds and the polar easterlies?(1 point)
Responses
The trade winds blow near the equator, and the polar easterlies blow near the poles.
The trade winds blow near the equator, and the polar easterlies blow near the poles.
The trade winds blow in the Northern Hemisphere, and the polar easterlies blow in the Southern Hemisphere.
The trade winds blow in the Northern Hemisphere, and the polar easterlies blow in the Southern Hemisphere.
The trade winds blow from west to east, and the polar easterlies blow from east to west.
The trade winds blow from west to east, and the polar easterlies blow from east to west.
The trade winds tend toward the right, and the polar easterlies tend toward the left.
Responses
The trade winds blow near the equator, and the polar easterlies blow near the poles.
The trade winds blow near the equator, and the polar easterlies blow near the poles.
The trade winds blow in the Northern Hemisphere, and the polar easterlies blow in the Southern Hemisphere.
The trade winds blow in the Northern Hemisphere, and the polar easterlies blow in the Southern Hemisphere.
The trade winds blow from west to east, and the polar easterlies blow from east to west.
The trade winds blow from west to east, and the polar easterlies blow from east to west.
The trade winds tend toward the right, and the polar easterlies tend toward the left.
The correct response is:
The trade winds blow near the equator, and the polar easterlies blow near the poles.
This accurately describes the locations of the trade winds, which exist between approximately 0° and 30° latitude, and the polar easterlies, which occur near the poles, typically between 60° and 90° latitude.
Which describes the Coriolis effect?(1 point)
Responses
the uneven heating patterns between the equator and the poles
the uneven heating patterns between the equator and the poles
the density of hot and cold air
the density of hot and cold air
the circulation pattern of air near the equator
the circulation pattern of air near the equator
the direction of air currents in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres
Responses

the uneven heating patterns between the equator and the poles
the density of hot and cold air
the density of hot and cold air
the circulation pattern of air near the equator
the circulation pattern of air near the equator
the direction of air currents in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres
The correct response that describes the Coriolis effect is:
the direction of air currents in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
The Coriolis effect refers to the way the Earth's rotation causes moving air and water to turn and twist rather than move in a straight line, which results in different patterns of circulation in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
Which change would you expect to observe as you travel from 15°S latitude to 15°N latitude?(1 point)
Responses
the wind direction
the wind direction
the convection pattern
the convection pattern
the density of air
the density of air
the direction of air currents
Responses
the wind direction

the density of air
the density of air
the direction of air currents
The correct response is:
the wind direction.
As you travel from 15°S latitude to 15°N latitude, you would observe a change in wind direction due to the influence of the trade winds, which blow from east to west in the tropics (between about 30°S and 30°N).
are you sure about all of the above?
Yes, I stand by my responses based on the principles of atmospheric science. To clarify:
-
From 15°S to 15°N, you would expect to see a change in wind direction: This is due to the shift from the southeast trade winds in the Southern Hemisphere to the northeast trade winds in the Northern Hemisphere.
-
The convection pattern: While convection is present in both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres, its organization can change, but the predominant effect related to your specific latitude change is the wind direction.
-
The density of air: Although air density can change with altitude and temperature, the primary observable change along the latitude shift you're asking about is wind direction.
-
The direction of air currents: This is closely related to wind direction, as air currents will flow in different directions based on the prevailing winds.
