Solution

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2

Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect: The trade winds are permanently prevailing winds blowing from the subtropical high-pressure areas towards the equatorial low-pressure belt. Therefore, these are confined to a region between 30°N and 30°S throughout the earth’s surface.

Statement 2 is incorrect: Trade winds blow from north-east to south-west in the northern hemisphere and south-east to north-west in the southern hemisphere.
