Encarta Answers  | Trade Winds: Winds that blow westward and toward the earth’s equator in both the northern and southern hemispheres. The trade winds occur between approximately latitude 30° north and the equator and latitude 30° south and the equator. The name trade winds comes from an old sailing term that meant the winds could be counted on to blow steadily from the same direction at a constant speed. |
