Hey there!

I believe the answer you are looking for here is the rising air near the equator. (I don't exactly know if this is the correct answer but I do know that prevailing winds can vary due to the uneven heating of the Earth) so you can make your choice based on my knowledge but you should also perhaps wait for another person's opinion.

I hope this helps and that you have a great day! :)

Prevailing winds are the kind of surface winds that are directed in particular  direction. These winds occur due to varied patterns  of earth movement .  Eastern and western winds are present predominantly  in low and high latitudes respectively. Various types of breezes also aid in movement of winds. For example sea  breeze helps in prevailing  winds which are light in nature. To display the direction  of  prevailing  winds various tools are used such as wind Roses. Winds differ in in latitudes due to rotation of earth.

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

I would love to visit India. The culture of India refers to a collection of minor unique cultures. The culture of India comprises of clothing, festivals, languages, religions, music, dance, architecture, food, and art in India. Most noteworthy, Indian culture has been influenced by several foreign cultures throughout its history. The geography of India is diverse and can be divided into three main regions. The first is the rugged, mountainous Himalayan region in the northern part of the country, while the second is called the Indo-Gangetic Plain. It is in this region that most of India's large-scale agriculture takes place. The third geographic region in India is the plateau region in the southern and central portions of the country. India also has three major river systems, all of which have large deltas that take over a large portion of the land. These are the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra Rivers. Overall, I think India would make a great vacation and would be very  interesting.
