Explain how geographic features can cause local winds.

All wind is caused by the uneven heating of Earth's surface, which sets convection currents in motion. Convection currents on a large scale cause global winds; convection currents on a small scale cause local winds. ;

Geographic features like mountains and bodies of water greatly influence local winds through uneven heating and air movement. Day and night temperatures create sea and land breezes, while mountains can cause orographic effects affecting precipitation. Understanding these processes helps explain local climatic patterns.
