How global winds are created by angle at the sun strikes different points on earth?
global winds are created by the unequal heating of earths surface. when the sun is at an angle, like in the poles, where it covers a large area, it heats less. then winds blow from the equator to the north pole and creates global winds.
How do seasons affect the surface winds?
during the northern winter, the surface winds shift to the south
