Just like Prevailing Westerlies

Weather is not caused by a certain type of wind.
Polar easterlies
The polar front is located where the westerlies and the polar easterlies converge. The westerlies blow from the west to the east in the middle latitudes, while the polar easterlies blow from the east to the west closer to the poles. These two prevailing wind belts meeting at the polar front create unstable weather conditions and frequent storms.
The three main wind patterns in each hemisphere - trade winds, westerlies, and polar easterlies - are the result of the Earth's rotation, the distribution of temperature, and pressure differences in the atmosphere. These unique wind patterns are formed due to the Coriolis effect, which deflects winds to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere, creating distinct circulation systems.
The Coriolis effect causes the polar easterlies to deflect to the west near the poles due to the Earth's rotation. This results in the wind flow from east to west in the upper atmosphere. The Coriolis effect influences the direction and strength of the polar easterlies, contributing to their characteristic eastward flow.

The Westerlies occur between 30 and 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres. These are prevailing winds that flow from the west to the east. They are responsible for weather patterns and are important for air travel routes.
The four major wind belts are the polar easterlies, the westerlies, the trade winds, and the doldrums. Each of these wind belts plays a crucial role in shaping global weather patterns and circulation.
westerlies and tropical easterlies
The global wind belt is the general circulation and the surface winds of each hemisphere. The three wind belts are the polar easterlies, prevailing westerlies and the tropical easterlies.
The polar front is located where the westerlies and the polar easterlies converge.

Polar Easterlies
Polar Easterlies: From 60-90 degrees latitude.Prevailing Westerlies: From 30-60 degrees latitude (aka Westerlies).Tropical Easterlies: From 0-30 degrees latitude (aka Trade Winds).The three major global wind belts are the trade winds, the polar easterlies, and the prevailing westerliesHope this helped~Zadr
