Wind does not blow directly from the North Pole to the South Pole due to the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the Earth's rotation. This effect causes moving air to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in curved wind patterns rather than a straight path. Additionally, temperature differences between the equator and the poles create pressure gradients that further influence wind direction and behavior.
