"Winds around the Equator are light" is the one statement among the choices given in the question about wind is not true. The wind around the equator are actually heavy. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "A". I hope the answer helps you.

Answer:

C. Winds at about 30° North and South latitudes are heavy

Explanation:

  • The formation of the winds system is characterized by the trade wind that occurs in the 30 degrees north and south of the equator and hence is called the easterlies. These are low winds as the realm of these wind is located in the equatorial low-pressure belt. Thus gives rise to the Hadley cells that move towards the polar areas.
