Question

What causes wind formation?(1 point)
Responses

the movement of Earth on its axis

the turning of circulating air currents

the temperature differences in the hemispheres

the constant density of air

Answer 1

The primary cause of wind formation is **temperature differences in the hemispheres**. Wind is created by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface, which leads to variations in air pressure. Warmer air is less dense and rises, while cooler air is denser and sinks, resulting in air movement that we perceive as wind.
