Best answer
  • Equatorial low pressure belt and subpolar low pressure belt. 
  • The winds formed from this pressure belt in the Northern Hemisphere are trade winds and westerlies.

Trade winds

  • Blow continuously from north subtropical high pressure belt to subpolar low pressure belt. 
  • As these winds blow from the north east, they are known as north east trade winds.

Westerlies

  • Blow continuously from north subtropical high pressure belt to subpolar low pressure belt. 
  • Blow in south west direction in the Northern Hemisphere. 
  • Westerlies are most influenced by the Coriolis force. It is because Coriolis force increases while advancing from the equator.
