Real questions that test this

विषुववृत्तापासून ध्रुवाकडे वाहणाऱ्या ग्रहीय वाऱ्यांचा योग्य क्रम ओळखा. Find out the correct sequence of planetary winds found from the equator to pole.

1)पश्चिमी वारे, व्यापारी वारे, ध्रुवीय वारे / Westerlies, Trade winds, Polar winds
2)व्यापारी वारे, पश्चिमी वारे, ध्रुवीय वारे / Trade winds, Westerlies, Polar winds✓ Correct
3)व्यापारी वारे, ध्रुवीय वारे, पश्चिमी वारे / Trade winds, Polar winds, Westerlies
4)ध्रुवीय वारे, पश्चिमी वारे, व्यापारी वारे / Polar winds, Westerlies, Trade winds

Planetary winds from the equator to poles follow a distinct global pattern: Trade winds near the equator, Westerlies in the middle latitudes, and Polar winds near the poles.

उपष्ण कटिबंधीय उच्च दाब पट्ट्याकडून विषुववृत्तीय कमी दाब विभागाकडे वाहणाऱ्या वाऱ्यांना _______ म्हणतात. The winds blowing from the subtropical high pressure belt towards the equatorial low pressure area known as _______.

1)स्थानिक वारे / Local winds
2)पश्चिमी वारे / Westerlies
3)व्यापारी वारे / Trade winds✓ Correct
4)डोंगर वारे / Mountain winds

Winds blowing from subtropical high pressure belts towards the equatorial low pressure area are known as Trade winds (व्यापारी वारे).
