Answer:

The factors that influence the wind patterns are - Atmospheric pressure, Coriolis effect and Topography of a place.

Explanation :

The factors that influence the wind patterns are -

1. Atmospheric Pressure -

One of the prime drivers of wind direction is atmospheric pressure, essentially the weight at a given point of the overlying column of air. Low pressure is often caused by solar heating, as warmer air ascends; cooled, descending air creates an area of high pressure. For example, “sea breezes” and “land breezes” form because of the differential heating of land masses and large water bodies.

2. Coriolis Effect -

Winds, though, are partly shunted off direct courses between high and low pressure by the rotation of the Earth. This discrepancy of direction is called the Coriolis effect. The planet rotates from west to east (hence the “rising” of the sun in the east and its “setting” in the west). In the Northern Hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes out-rushing winds from a high-pressure cell--the anticyclone--to blow in clockwise fashion, while in-rushing winds spiral counterclockwise around the low-pressure cyclone.

3. Topography -

At the surface of the Earth, topographic variations may affect wind direction. This factor doesn’t operate exclusively of pressure influences. For example, in mountainous regions winds will switch from blowing up- and downslope depending on the time of day. This has to do with differential heating, pressure and air-parcel weights: At night, heavy cold air rolls down into the valley bottoms; during the day, heating of surrounding slopes draws winds out of the bottoms.
