the movement of Earth on its axis

Answer 1

Wind formation is primarily caused by **the temperature differences in the hemispheres**. This creates pressure gradients, resulting in air moving from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas. Other factors, such as the Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect) and local geographical features, also influence wind patterns, but the underlying cause is the temperature differences affecting air density.
