Unequal heating of Earth 's surface by the Sun causes global wind patterns, and low latitudes, for instance, receive more heat during the day than stations at high latitudes. Given these facts, global wind patterns are driven by  among the following options:
- the sun's energy
 - sunlight energy
 - windmills
 - Earth's magnetic core
 - structure and function
 - lunar tidal forces
 - unequal warming of the Earth's
 - Earth's atmosphere circulation
