1. Trade winds originate due to tropical high-pressure belt in northern hemisphere.
2. In past, these winds were used for oceanic trade-commerce. So, they are called Trade winds.
3. These winds deflect due to Coriolis force and blow towards equator.
4. As these winds blow from over landmass, they contain less moisture.
5. Due to this vast water mass, the winds passing over them absorb moisture and bring rain in India.
6. A large low-pressure area develops over the equator where the Trade Winds converge. It is called Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).
7. The Trade Winds rise upwards in the form of air currents.
