Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The large scale or general circulation patterns of the atmosphere exist as nature's method of balancing heat energy differences. Heat energy is distributed unevenly on Earth's surface due to differences in solar radiation. The atmosphere's circulation transports heat from the equator to the poles, allowing for a more balanced distribution of heat energy.
