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.
