The diagram shows the global wind pattern in the lower atmosphere. What is the main factor that determines the global wind pattern?
A) the directions of ocean currents
B) uneven landforms on earth's surface
C) Earth's yearly revolution around the sun
D) uneven heating of earth's surface by the sun
The Earth has consistent wind patterns when looked at from a global scale. Global winds are created by both the spin of the Earth (Coriolis effect) and the differences in temperature between the equator and the polar areas.
