At which location is the concentration of sunlight the greatest?

• North Pole
• South Pole
• Tropic of Cancer
• Equator

How does solar heat influence global wind patterns?

• As solar heating increases, temperature gradients and pressure differences intensify, leading to stronger global wind patterns.

• As global winds intensify, temperature gradients and pressure differences increase, leading to stronger global temperatures.

• As solar heating decreases, temperature gradients and pressure differences intensify, leading to stronger global wind patterns.

• There is no correlation between solar heating and global wind patterns
