Describe five effects of the North East Trade winds in Ghana​

The answer is below

Explanation:

North East Trade Wind, which is characterized by its blowing from the north east of Ghana to the south- west of Ghana in terms of direction of winds, has the following effects:

1. Because these winds are normally dry, it often causes bleeding of lips among humans and animals.

2. Due to the fact that, these winds do not bring rainfall, it often leads to drying of crops.

3. Also, because the winds bring along dust, it mostly interferes with aircraft operations and settles dust on the decks of ships.

4. The winds blow is also known to comes around the months of November to March this leads to harmattan in the area, thereby causing temperatures to be as low as 9 °C all day.

5. It is also known to prevents rainfall formation and sometimes creates big clouds of dust which can result in dust storms or sandstorms.

The trade winds or easterlies are the permanent east-to-west prevailing winds that flow in the Earth's equatorial region (between 30°N and 30°S latitudes). The trade winds blow predominantly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere, strengthening during the winter and when the Arctic oscillation is in its warm phase. Trade winds have been used by captains of sailing ships to cross the world's oceans for centuries and enabled colonial expansion into the Americas and trade routes to become established across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

In meteorology, the trade winds act as the steering flow for tropical storms that form over the Atlantic, Pacific, and southern Indian Oceans and make landfall in North America, Southeast Asia, and Madagascar and eastern Africa. Trade winds also transport African dust westward across the Atlantic Ocean into the Caribbean Sea, as well as portions of southeastern North America. Shallow cumulus clouds are seen within trade wind regimes and are capped from becoming taller by a trade wind inversion, which is caused by descending air aloft from within the subtropical ridge. The weaker the trade winds become, the more rainfall can be expected in the neighboring landmasses.

North-East Trade Wind, which blows in the direction from the northeast of Ghana to the south-west of Ghana, shows these effects:

1. These are dry wind, therefore, leads to drying crops and dry skin and lips of humans

2. Other than dry wind these do not bring rainfall, causes drying of crops.

3. Wind moves dust and sand with it that cause difficulty in flying and shipping decks.

4. TThe time frame of these winds are the months of November to March this leads to harmattan in the area, which lowers the temperature.

5. creates dust storms or sandstorms.
