Correct Answer: Polar easterlies
Solution : The correct answer is Polar easterlies .
The dry, cold prevailing winds that circle the high-pressure regions of the polar highs at the North and South Poles are known as polar easterlies in the context of Earth's atmosphere. High-pressure zones are created at the poles when cold air retreats, pushing air to move equatorward, where it is redirected westward by the Coriolis effect.
