The correct response is **the amount of heat in each area**.
This is because the equator receives more direct sunlight compared to the poles, leading to warmer temperatures and lower pressure at the equator, while the poles are colder and have higher pressure. This difference in temperature creates a pressure gradient, which drives atmospheric circulation and wind patterns.
