The correct response is:
The trade winds blow near the equator, and the polar easterlies blow near the poles.
Trade winds occur in the tropics, while polar easterlies are found in the polar regions.
What is the difference between the trade winds and the polar easterlies?(1 point)
Responses
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 tend toward the right, and the polar easterlies tend toward the left.
The trade winds tend toward the right, and the polar easterlies tend toward the left.
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 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 Coriolis effect refers to the way the rotation of the Earth affects the direction of winds and currents, causing them to curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
Which change would you expect to observe as you travel from 15°S latitude to 15°N latitude?(1 point)

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 Coriolis effect and the trade winds, which blow from east to west in the tropics.
Its the direction of the currents
I apologize for any confusion. You are correct in noting that the observed change as you move from 15°S latitude to 15°N latitude would indeed involve the direction of air currents. The trade winds and the overall circulation patterns can vary between these latitudes, impacting the flow of air currents. Thank you for pointing that out!
