Question
which statement describes global winds?
they flow from the same direction.
they travel over short distances.
they generate land breezes.
they blow away from the poles to the equator.
Global winds are large - scale wind systems that cover the Earth. They blow from the poles to the equator (in general, with some variations due to the Coriolis effect). They do not flow from the same direction (e.g., trade winds, westerlies have different directions). They travel over long distances (not short). Land breezes are local wind systems, not generated by global winds.
