Need help with this question

This question is incomplete, because there is no picture, but I attached one, related with the question. The correct answer Trade winds are shown as number 1.

Explanation:

Trade winds and permamnet winds which blow between Tropic of Cancer, Equator and Tropic of Capricorn (which is between 30 degrees N and 30 degrees S.

These wind always flows from Tropics towards the Eqautor, because around the Eqautor is permanent low pressure area, and around the Tropics is permanent high pressure area. Air always flows from high pressure towards low pressure area.

Due to Earth's rotation trade winds curve a little bit, a they become prevailing Northeasterly Trades (in Northern hemisphere) and Southeasterly Trades (in Southern hemisphere). Earth rotates in west-east direction, and that is the reason for their deflection.

Trade winds got their name in the Age of Discovery (14-15 century) when sailing around the world and explorations were very common. Explorers find out that in specific regions exist winds with permanent direction. That was very importnant in the Middle Ages, so explorers always followed their patterns. Term '<em>trade</em>' is actually from Middle English and it means '<em>track</em>'.

How does colonization still affect us today?

Julli [10]

Colonization caused a major cultural shift and merge. For example, the English left a footprint on the United States, which is why Americans speak English. Another example is the country of Haiti in the Caribbean. They were a colony of France and now today their population speaks Haitian French. Traditions of colonizers were also passed down. Mexico was a colony of Spain and at the time of the colonization of the New World Spain was highly Catholic, now the Mexican population are also highly Catholic due to the spreading of Catholicism during Mexicos colonial days. The merge of Settlers and Natives also created a new mix of population and a more diverse community. Even Japan during WW2 had colonized Indochina (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos) which in the short period all the Vietnamese learned Jungle War tactics from the Japanese that were used in The Vietnam War.
