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! :)

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.

Explain<br> why it is necessary to protect the sand spit from coastal<br> erosion.
vovikov84 [41]

Answer: Because sand dunes protect inland areas from swells, tides, and winds, they must be protected and defended like national treasures. A strong and healthy beach dune is a powerful antidote against coastal erosion.  The ocean and the wind can have an unpredictable, destructive force on coastal regions.
