Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Global winds are winds that occur in belts that go all around the planet (Figure below). Like local winds, global winds are caused by unequal heating of the atmosphere. Global winds occur in belts around the globe. Warm air rises, creating low pressure zones while cool sinking air creates high pressure zones.
Detailed explanation-2: -The two main factors affecting wind patterns are 1) the heat distribution between the earth’s equator and poles, and 2) the constant rotation of the planet. The sun is Earth’s primary energy source.
