The answer is; prevailing winds


When there are dominant winds over a particular area of the planet that blow from one point and in a particular direction, these are called prevailing winds. These winds are influenced by the earth’s atmospheric circulation. The prevailing winds in low latitudes are referred to as easteriles while those in the mid latitude are the westerlies.
