What causes differences in air pressure around the Earth?
convection
cold water is more dense and sinks
Warm air rises at the equator and cool air sinks at the poles.
uneven heating of Earth's surface
move water from south of the equator back toward the equator
Coriolis effect.
differences in air pressure
sea breeze
