Ever wonder why most weather travels east ?. Does weather blows or drags along ?.

Try spinning your car tire and put your hand next to a spinning tire and air travels in the same direction as the tire.

 

Our earth does the same thing and air is not blown in but rather draged along.

this is a discussion forum? are you going to start a discussion on any particular topic? this isn't a place to just post random facts.

Your analogy is flawed, because you're looking at the weather from the Earth's surface (which is itself spinning) and the tire from an outside position that is not spinning with it. If it was only a matter of being dragged along, the winds wouldn't be moving faster than rotation, they'd be moving slower. Meaning they'd all be going east to west. If you were standing on the surface of the tire, you'd still have a headwind coming from the forward direction. Otherwise, you wouldn't have air resistance, you'd have wind pushing it faster and faster, and every spinning tire would be a perpetual motion machine.

It doesn't. You have a biased point of view because you live on the surface of the Earth and you live in California. Your point of view would be different if you lived aloft at extreme altitude or if you lived elsewhere on the surface of the Earth. Between roughly 30 south and 30 north latitude the surface winds are predominantly from the west. Google "trade winds" for more info.

From the east?

Sorry for the confusion. From the east, not from the west. The trade winds blow west (southwest in the Northern Hemisphere, northwest in the Southern Hemisphere).
