What kind of heat transfer causes earths major heat patterns?
Our planet is warmed by conduction (heat from the mantle below), convection (tropical heat is transferred to the poles by wind and currents) and radiation (primarily the warmth of the sun, though there's also radioactive decay occurring in our planet's core).
What type of heat transfer causes wind?
Electromagnetic waves from the sun heat the ground in a certain area, say, a parking lot. The hot parking lot transfers some of its heat to the air above it. Eventually, a "bubble" of warmer air is created and, since heat rises, it begins to ascend. When this happens, the cold air around the "bubble" of hot air rushes in to fill the space left by it. The rushing air is wind. (at least, that's what my 5th-grade textbook said)
