Coriolis effect and difference in heat
Not only influence, The Sun's energy is the CAUSE of wind on Earth.
Air movement patterns on Earth's surface are primarily driven by differences in temperature and pressure. This leads to the formation of global wind belts, such as the trade winds, westerlies, and polar easterlies. These wind patterns play a crucial role in redistributing heat and moisture around the planet, influencing weather patterns and climate.

The Earth's shape affects global temperatures and wind patterns by influencing the distribution of sunlight. The curved surface of the Earth causes uneven heating of the planet, leading to differences in temperature between regions. This temperature variation drives the movement of air masses around the globe, influencing wind patterns and weather systems.
A surface current is found at the surface of the ocean caused by wind patterns.
Global winds are directly caused by the combination of the Earth's rotation and the uneven heating of the Earth's surface. The Coriolis effect, resulting from the Earth's rotation, deflects the wind patterns creating the global wind belts. The uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun creates temperature differences that drive the movement of air in the atmosphere, resulting in the global wind patterns we observe.
Regional wind patterns are mainly influenced by the uneven heating of Earth's surface and the rotation of the planet. The differential heating of land and water, and the presence of mountain ranges and large bodies of water also play a role in shaping regional wind patterns.
Earth's atmosphere is in constant motion due to various factors such as the uneven heating of the Earth's surface, rotation of the Earth, and interactions with bodies of water. This movement creates wind patterns, weather systems, and global climate patterns.
