In this episode, we explore the large-scale movement of air that forms the foundation of Earth's weather and climate systems—global circulation patterns. We break down how solar energy unevenly heats the planet, creating pressure differences that drive winds. Viewers learn about the three major circulation cells in each hemisphere: the Hadley, Ferrel, and Polar cells, and how they contribute to the trade winds, westerlies, and polar easterlies.
