Global Air Circulation

Uneven Heating of the Earth

The Earth's rotation on its axis and its slight tilt cause different parts of the Earth's surface to receive more or less sunlight, leading to variations in temperature.

Seasons and Tilt

The tilt of the Earth's axis causes the seasons on the planet.
This tilt causes changes in the amount of sunlight that different parts of the Earth's surface receive, leading to the changes in temperature and weather throughout the year.

How global air circulation effects Biodiversity and Biomes

The air circulation patterns can affect the amount of sunlight, heat, and moisture that different regions receive,
which can affect the types of plants and animals that are able to live there.
