Answer: wind flows from areas of high to medium pressure at the earth's surface.

Explanation:

Pressure pattern drive wind pattern which in turns drives oceanic pattern.

Wind at the surface of the Earth flows from areas of high to medium pressure. The wind speed is determined by difference in barometric pressure between the linear distance and air columns over which the transition takes place.

Between the southern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere there is a differentiated warming because of the specific heat changes between these two regions. This can cause a decrease in pressure in the southern hemisphere during the summer and part of the spring, causing a strong pressure gradient in relation to the ocean in this region. This may be able to cause a strong release of latent heat in relation to a concentration of cooled air in the region of the oceans.

When a pressure gradient is established in the hemisphere, the wind begins to dissipate, at high speed, from the regions with the highest pressure values ​​to the regions with the lowest pressure values, however, once the pressure gradient no longer exists, the wind speed will assume constant values.

How is the system formed​
Dimas [21]
Formation. Our solar system formed about 4.5 billion years ago from a dense cloud of interstellar gas and dust. The cloud collapsed, possibly due to the shockwave of a nearby exploding star, called a supernova. When this dust cloud collapsed, it formed a solar nebula—a spinning, swirling disk of material. Approximately 4.6 billion years ago, the solar system was a cloud of dust and gas known as a solar nebula. Gravity collapsed the material in on itself as it began to spin, forming the sun in the center of the nebula. With the rise of the sun, the remaining material began to clump together. Part of Hall of the Universe. The Sun and the planets formed together, 4.6 billion years ago, from a cloud of gas and dust called the solar nebula. A shock wave from a nearby supernova explosion probably initiated the collapse of the solar nebula. ... In a similar manner, moons formed orbiting the gas giant planets. Hope this helps!

What 2 internal forces helped the earth the most
