Where do north-east winds originate?

Solution:

- The correct option is option 2, i.e., the northeast trade winds are produced by the subtropical high-pressure system of the Northern Hemisphere.
- The northeast trade winds are the prevailing winds that blow from the subtropical high-pressure system of the Northern Hemisphere towards the equator. These winds are responsible for the dry climate of the Sahara Desert and the Caribbean region.
- Option 1, i.e., the southward flowing currents in the Northern Hemisphere, does not produce the northeast trade winds.
- Option 3, i.e., the northeast trade winds are not produced by the low-pressure system of the Northern Hemisphere. Instead, they are produced by the high-pressure system.
- Option 4, i.e., the southward flowing currents in the Southern Hemisphere, does not produce the northeast trade winds.
