2. In which direction do the Trade Winds blow? a) Towards the equator b) Away from the equator c) East to West d) West to East

The correct answer is b) Away from the equator.<br /><br />The Trade Winds blow towards the equator, from the subtropical high-pressure zones towards the equatorial low-pressure zone. This means they blow from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere, converging near the equator.
