Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Zonal winds are those that blow parallel to the equator from west to east. They are also known as westerlies and are responsible for weather patterns in many parts of the world, including the United States and Europe. Meridional winds, on the other hand, blow north to south or south to north, and are not associated with the same weather patterns as zonal winds. Turbulent winds and rotors are not specific types of wind directions, but rather describe different aspects of wind behavior.
