Question 901Navigation General

The correct answer is C) west. The prevailing winds between 30°N and 60°N latitude are from the west, also known as the "Westerlies." This is due to the global circulation patterns and the Coriolis effect, which causes winds in the mid-latitudes to be deflected towards the east in the Northern Hemisphere. The other options are incorrect because winds from the south (A), north (B), or east (D) are not the prevailing wind patterns in this latitude range. The Westerlies are the dominant wind system in the mid-latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere.
