Air pressure toward regions of lower air pressure
True. Winds are created by the movement of air from areas of high pressure to low pressure. In general, air moves from regions of higher air temperature to lower air temperature to balance out the pressure differences, creating wind patterns.
Earth's surface winds generally blow from regions of higher pressure to lower pressure due to the movement of air molecules from areas of high density to low density. This movement creates wind patterns that help distribute heat and moisture around the planet, playing a crucial role in regulating Earth's climate.
Divergent
The atmosphere tries to balance the unequal heating of Earth's surface through convection, where warmer air rises and cooler air sinks to distribute heat more evenly. Additionally, winds help transport heat from warmer regions to cooler regions, and cloud cover can reflect sunlight back into space to regulate temperature.
Surface winds at the North Pole generally move from the south towards the north, forming the Polar Easterlies. These winds are a result of the temperature difference between the cold polar regions and the warmer mid-latitudes.
A primary cause for surface winds on the earth is the Earths Rotation.
high winds are normally caused by the unequal heating of the earths surface.

The prevailing surface winds at about 15 degrees north and south latitudes are called the trade winds. In the northern hemisphere, they blow from the northeast, while in the southern hemisphere, they blow from the southeast. These steady winds are caused by the Earth's rotation and pressure differences between equatorial regions and higher latitudes.
This caused by the rotation of the earth and is called the coriolis effect.
Divergent
High winds are typically a result of differences in air pressure between two regions. Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, creating wind as it does so. Other factors can also contribute to high winds, such as the proximity to mountains or bodies of water.
Coriolis effect
No, there would not be winds if the earth's surface was the same temperature everywhere. The reason why is because during the day the land heats up faster than the water.
