the turning of circulating air currents

Answer 1

The primary cause of wind formation is the temperature differences in the hemispheres. As the sun heats different areas of the Earth unevenly due to various factors, such as the angle of sunlight and surface characteristics, this creates pressure differences in the atmosphere. Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, resulting in wind.

While the other factors mentioned can also influence wind patterns, temperature differences are the fundamental cause of wind formation.
