Answer:
Heat and moisture are distributed around Earth by global winds.
Explanation:
Global wind is the wind that rises from the equator to the poles, which circulates through the upper layers of the atmosphere at around 30º latitude, the Coriolis force prevents it from continuing towards the poles. At this latitude is a zone of high pressures, so the air begins to descend again.
When the wind rises from Ecuador it gives rise to a low pressure zone near the ground which attracts winds from the north and south. At the poles, due to the cold air, high pressure zones originate. The troposphere is where all the weather phenomena occur as well as the greenhouse effect.
Dominant wind directions are important in the location of wind turbines, however local geography can also influence the above directions.
These winds are actually considered to be geostrophic winds, and occur from the altitude of 1,000 m. The speeds of these winds can be measured by weather balloons.
