The question:
In the tropics, why do winds move north and south toward the equator?

(I tried ask.com Didnt work. So dont tell me to try ask.com that u helping is cheating.)

Answer 1

The phenomenon you're looking for are the trade winds. The reason they blow that direction is that the equator tends to have low pressure. Wind blows from high pressure areas to low pressure areas, so it blows towards the equator.
