Trade winds Northeast and Southeast) blow from the Horse Latitudes toward the Equator. The rotation of Earth causes these winds to blow diagonally rather than directly North or South.
Westerlies blow from the Horse Latitudes toward the polar regions. The diagonal deflection of these winds is also caused by Earth's rotation.
Stagnant air exists in the Horse Latitudes and in the area called the Doldrums. The Horse Latitudes are so named because the Spanish, who frequently ferried horses across the Atlantic, often found their sailing vessels stalled in this region. As a result, they ran out of water for the horses. As the horses died from thirst, they had to be thrown overboard.)
Polar Easterlies blow from the Arctic regions toward the more temperate regions to the South.
Use one color to highlight the area in which the Doldrums are located. Label this area "The Doldrums." The Doldrums are located to the immediate north and south of the Equator, where the Northeast Trades and the Southeast Trades meet.)
Use a second color to highlight the Trade winds, both Northeast and Southeast.
Use a third color to highlight the areas in which the Horse Latitudes are located. Label this area "The Horse Latitudes." The Horse Latitudes are located about at about 30 degrees North latitude in the area between the Westerlies and the Northeast Trades and at about 35 degrees South latitude in the area between the Southeast Trades and the Westerlies).)
