Question
wind patterns are driven by--
conduction currents
convection currents
plate tectonics
tsuna mis
Wind patterns are driven by convection currents. Convection currents occur when warmer air (less dense) rises and cooler air (more dense) sinks. This movement creates air circulation patterns, which are the basis of wind. Conduction currents involve the transfer of heat through direct contact (not relevant here). Plate tectonics relate to the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates (not wind). Tsunamis are large ocean waves (not related to wind patterns).
