What direction do the trade winds blow? Is this direction a constant? How do the trade winds influence ocean circulation?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The trade winds blow from the east toward the west. Although the direction is constant, the intensity of the winds is subject to change. Because wind blowing over the oceans produces surface ocean currents, when the trade winds slacken so do the surface ocean currents.
