More Information
The uneven heating of Earth's surface by the Sun is the primary driver for wind patterns. This happens because different areas heat up at different rates, causing air to move from high-pressure to low-pressure areas, creating wind.
Tips
Common mistakes include confusing weather phenomena with geological activities like volcanic activity, which are unrelated to solar heating.
