Which of the following choices causes all of the others in creating global terrestrial climates?
A) differential heating of Earth's surface
B) ocean currents
C) global wind patterns
D) evaporation of water from ocean surfaces

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Differential heating of Earth's surface is the primary driver of global terrestrial climates. It creates temperature gradients that influence the movement of air masses and the formation of global wind patterns and ocean currents. Evaporation of water from ocean surfaces is also influenced by differential heating, and global wind patterns can be affected by ocean currents. However, these factors are not the primary cause of global terrestrial climates.
