Trade Winds
scale winds in the tropics that blow generally toward to west in both hem:ispheres (from the Northeast in the Northern Hem:isphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hem:isphere). These steady winds are called trade winds because they provided trade ships with a sailing route to the "New World," America.
