Which winds blow in the lower branch of the Hadley cell?
Answer: D
Air returning equatorward at low levels is deflected westward by the Coriolis force, giving the northeast and southeast trades of the two hemispheres. Their remarkable steadiness made them essential to sailing routes. The westerlies belong to mid-latitudes, the polar easterlies to the polar cell, and the monsoons to the seasonal migration of the whole system over the continents. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a formula, is the reliable route through questions of this shape.
