Question

atmospheric circulation quick check
what directly causes the pressure difference between the equator and the poles? (1 point)
the amount of heat in each area
the direction where wind blows
the length of each season
the rotation of earth on its axis

Explanation:

The amount of heat in each area directly causes the pressure difference. The equator receives more solar heat, warming the air and making it less dense (lower pressure). The poles receive less heat, so the air is cooler and denser (higher pressure). Wind direction is an effect of pressure differences, not the cause. Season length relates to Earth's tilt and orbit, not direct pressure - heat link. Earth's rotation affects wind direction (Coriolis effect) but not the initial pressure difference due to heat.

Answer:

the amount of heat in each area
