Detailed Solution

The equatorial and polar regions of the earth receive unequal solar heat. The convection current arising due to this is called Trade wind.
Trade winds result from the Earth's polar and equatorial regions being heated differently. Ships may go west thanks to the trade winds, which consistently blow from east to west just north and south of the equator. The Earth spins on its axis, which causes the trade winds to blow in that direction. The air currents that blow from east to west close to the equator are also referred to as the trade winds since they are closer to the Earth's surface.
