  1. At the global scale, the differential heating of the planet, with more sunlight received nearer the equator than nearer the poles, results in the temperature contrast across latitudes. This global temperature gradient is the driving force behind the major wind patterns we see on Earth. These winds are sometimes called the prevailing winds.

  3. There are basically 3 main wind belts over the globe.  In the tropical regions there are the Trade Winds, which blow from an easterly direction.  In the mid latitudes (roughly 30-60 degrees N and S) there exists the westerlies, which as the name implies, blow from a general westerly direction.  Finally, in the polar regions there are the polar easterlies, but they are not as pronounced as the other two.
