Question

the \easterlies\ are wind patterns that come from...
a the north and blow towards the south.
b the east and blow towards the west.
c the south and blow towards the north.
d the west and blow towards the east.

Explanation:

Easterlies are wind patterns that originate from the east and blow towards the west. This is a key characteristic of easterly winds in meteorology (a subfield of Natural Science, specifically Geography or Physics - related to atmospheric science). Option B states "the east and blow towards the west", which matches this definition. Option A is incorrect as it describes winds from north blowing south (not easterlies). Option C is from south blowing north (incorrect for easterlies). Option D is from west blowing east (these are westerlies, not easterlies).

Answer:

B. the east and blow towards the west
