The correct response is "the amount of heat in each area." The pressure difference between the equator and the poles is primarily caused by the unequal heating of the Earth's surface. The equator receives more direct sunlight and therefore more heat, leading to lower pressure, while the poles receive less direct sunlight and are cooler, leading to higher pressure. This difference in temperature results in variations in air pressure, which in turn drives wind patterns.
What directly causes the pressure difference between the equator and the poles?(1 point) Responses the direction where wind blows the direction where wind blows the length of each season the length of each season the amount of heat in each area the amount of heat in each area the rotation of Earth on its axis
