उत्तर
Roaring forties is the name given to westerlies winds.
Explanation:
“Roaring forties” refers to the strong and persistent Westerly winds found between about 40° and 50° latitude in the Southern Hemisphere. These winds are particularly powerful due to the lack of significant landmasses to obstruct them, resulting in high wind speeds over the ocean in this region. Hence, the “Roaring forties” are a nickname for the strong Westerlies blowing in that latitude range.
