How does the shape of the Earth influence global wind patterns?

Due to Earth's approximately spherical shape, this force is greatest at the poles and least at the Equator. The force, called the "Coriolis effect," causes the direction of winds and ocean currents to be deflected.

Explanation:

cold water from northern pole submerges as it is dense and travels to the equator, which is warm because the sun light reflects in eqautor more due to earth's tilt. once it goes to the equator, the air particles start coming up and becoming less dense due to the warmness. the process is called upwelling

~kinetic ~potential

explanation:

kinetic and potential energies would be types of mechanical energies.
