What are the factors that influence weather on the Earth?

Answer 1

Friction and the pressure gradient both cause differences in wind speed. Friction occurs when wind goes over irregularities, like hills and mountains. It causes the wind to slow down. The pressure gradient is the difference in pressure from one place to another. The greater the difference, the stronger the wind.

Answer 2

Energy source of Earth is the Sun. Due to tilting of Earth, energy distribution varies with the latitude. Amount of energy received decreases from equator to the poles in both the hemispheres.

This unequal distribution of energy along with convection processes makes pressure gradients though out the globe. These pressure gradients are the main cause of winds.

It can be expected that low pressures are formed at equator due to more convection/more heating-causing air to rise. Hence, winds direction should be from poles from either side to the equator, if the Earth doesn't rotate. But, with the rotation of it from west to east changes the direction of wind in clock-wise in Northern hemisphere and anti-clockwise in Southern Hemisphere. This process of deflective wind direction is called "Coriolis Effect".

Fluids including air/wind is abstracted by rough surfaces and objections. Smooth surfaces such as waters have less effective towards wind speeds. We can here imagine local orography makes different in wind speeds/directions.

In conclusion, 1. Latitude 2. Coriolis effect 3. Surface effects effect the wind speed/direction
