How are local winds different from global winds?

Local winds are small-scale winds that only affect a particular area or region, such as sea breezes or mountain winds, and are influenced by local topography and temperatures. Global winds, on the other hand, are large-scale winds that span across the Earth, driven by the rotation of the planet, the distribution of land and water, and solar energy. Global winds like the trade winds and westerlies are consistent and play a significant role in shaping global weather patterns.
