Answer:

The answer is Prevailing Winds.

Explanation:

As mentioned in the statement above, Prevailing Winds are fast moving air or wind that blows horizontally through the upper layers of the troposphere, generally from west to east, although it may blow from East to West also depending on latitude. It develops where air masses of different temperatures meet. Thus, it plays an insignificant role in the Earth's heat redistribution by moving warmer air to higher altitudes and moving cooler air towards the equator.
