Question

questions 1 through 3 refer to the following. the diagram below is an illustration of global atmospheric circulation.
2 mark for review
which of the following is the source of energy driving the circulation pattern labeled c in the diagram?
a the coriolis effect
b solar radiation
c earth’s magnetic field
d the spinning core of earth

Explanation:

Global atmospheric circulation (including the pattern labeled C) is driven by solar radiation. Solar radiation heats the Earth's surface unevenly (more at the equator, less at poles), creating temperature and pressure differences that drive air movement. The Coriolis effect modifies wind direction, not provide energy. Earth’s magnetic field and spinning core are unrelated to atmospheric circulation energy source.

Answer:

B. Solar radiation
