What causes high pressure at the poles?

• High temperatures and light air

• Ocean currents

• Constant sunlight

• Low temperatures and dense air

Why does wind blow from high to low pressure?

• Due to Earth's rotation

• Because of temperature differences

• Due to gravitational pull

• Because of magnetic fields
