Answer: Only 2
Notes: Easterlies are trade winds blowing from east to west, primarily in the equatorial region, while westerlies blow from west to east in mid-latitudes (30 to 60 degrees). In the Northern Hemisphere, easterlies come from the northeast and westerlies from the southwest. in the Southern Hemisphere, easterlies come from the southeast and westerlies from the northwest. The Antarctic Circumpolar Current is driven by westerlies, and easterlies transport nutrient-rich dust from the Sahara to Latin America and the Caribbean.
