Question 34

What is meant by permanent winds? How do they derive their name?

Answer

The winds that blow constantly throughout the year in a particular area, due to general pressure belts, are called permanent winds. For example: Trade winds, anti-trade winds and polar easterlies.

Permanent winds derive their name due to fact that they blow throughout the year.
