Question

explain the circulation of air in the atmosphere

Answer 1

Wind circulates in each hemisphere in three distinct cells which help transport energy and heat from the equator to the poles. The winds are driven by the energy from the sun at the surface as warm air rises and colder air sinks. The circulation cell closest to the equator is called the Hadley cell.

Answer 2

Atmospheric circulation is large scale movement of air and together with ocean circulation is the means by which thermal energy is redistributed on the surface of earth.
