1066. On the pole side of the high-pressure belt in each hemisphere, the pressure diminishes. The winds along these gradients are diverted by the Earth's rotation toward the east. What is the name of these winds?

Prevailing westerlies are mid-latitude winds blowing from west to east on the poleward side of subtropical high-pressure belts. This aligns with the question's description of winds diverted eastward by Earth's rotation on the pole side of a high-pressure belt.
