le diagram shows the global wind pattern in the lower atmosphere. What is the main factor that determines the global wind pattern?

A the directions of ocean currents
B uneven landforms on Earth's surface
C Earth's yearly revolution round the Sun
• uneven heating of Earth's surface by the Sun

1 answer

The main factor that determines the global wind pattern is uneven heating of Earth's surface by the Sun. This uneven heating creates differences in air pressure, leading to the movement of air and the formation of wind patterns. Thus, the correct answer is:

  • uneven heating of Earth's surface by the Sun.
