The coextensive United States lies in the zone of westerly breezes. United States lies in the zone of westerly winds.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Westerly breezes are hostile to exchange winds that influence the atmosphere of the United States. These are otherwise called prevailing westerly.

The westerly breezes blow from west to east in the center scopes. These carry warm and equatorial winds to the United States. This results in warm temperatures in the zones where westerly winds blow. These winds originate because of high pressure areas in the ''horse latitudes''.
