Are global winds produced by the movement of air between the equator and the poles?

"hot air rises at the poles becasue the sun is sending off direct sunlight to this area. the air moves outward to the poles. since the poles are reviecing indirect sunlight they are very cool so the air drops to the ground.

∙ 12y agoThe cold air pushes the warm air up, forceing it to rise and condense, and causing global wind patterns.
Better answer -- they don't. Rotation of the Earth and its effect produces the patterns, not the temperature or location of wind forces.

What cause the global convection currents between the equator and the poles?
Earth's tilt
Water is cooler near the poles and warmer near the equator Movement of cooler and warmer water from these regions moderates the global climate what describes the movement of water?
ocean currents
What causes the global convention current between the equator and the poles?
Temperature differences Earth's tilt
In what direction do global winds and currents flow near the equator?
westward
What describes the movement of heat and energy in the global ocean?
n

ocean currents
What causes the global convection current between the equator and the polls?
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.
What causes the global convention current between the equator and the poles?
Temperature differences Earth's tilt
What causes the global air current between the equator and the poles?
earths tilt (apex)
What causes the global air convection current between the equator and the polls?
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.
What are the Global winds that flow toward equator?
Global winds and currents near the equator flow east to west. The global wind belt located north and south of the equator is called trade winds.
What global wind is located at the equator?
doldrums
What effect do global winds have on climate?
Global winds drive heated air from the equator to the poles. It also drives colder air from the poles to the equator.
What forms the global grid?
The Equator and Prime Meridian
