Solar heating of the atmosphere, differential heating of water and land masses, rotation of the Earth and the Coriolis effect it causes are the sources of global wind patterns.
Contrasts in temperature create winds. Hot air rises, allowing cooler air to flow underneath. This movement of air from cooler to warmer areas is wind. Local winds are created by normal fluctuations in temperature from day to night, but global winds have a more direct effect on the climate of a region. Because the sun is more intense at the equator, global wind patterns called prevailing winds form. Hotter air at the equator rises and spreads toward the poles.
