Q: Where do north-east winds originate?
  • A. Tropical high pressure zone of the southern hemisphere
  • B. Subtropical high pressure zone of the northern hemisphere
  • C. Tropical low pressure zone of the northern hemisphere
  • D. Subtropical high pressure zone of the southern hemisphere
Correct Answer: Option B - The correct option is option (b) i.e., the northeast trade winds are produced by the subtropical high-pressure system of the Northern Hemisphere. • The northeast trade winds are the prevailing winds that blow from the subtropical high-pressure system of the Northern Hemisphere towards the equator. These winds are responsible for the dry climate of the Sahara Desert and the Caribean region
