How do the global winds distribute heat energy around the world?

Answer 1

Local winds are distributed by heating of land surfaces and can be affected by the sea breeze/land breeze cycle if in a coastal area or by mountain and valley breezes if in a mountainous area. Global winds are distributed by the absorption of energy from the sun across the various climate zones on Earth. This is most affected by the difference in heating between the equator and the North and South Pole as well as the Coriolis effect.

Answer 2

The earth system is a dynamic collection of currents. Circulation first starts at the equator with warmer air from more solar radiation. The moist air rises and falls with rain, this air will continue to travel to the 30 degree latitude (a much drier climate). If you want to look into it further there is a relationship like this among 0,30,60,90 latitudes. After taking in the coriolis effect, a system of wind belts will transpire among the planet. Surface wind effects surface currents. Currents and winds disperse the heat likewise.
