Answer:

Hey!

Your answer is TRUE!

Step-by-step explanation:

There are differences in heating of the air in the atmosphere which then create some huge convection currents in the troposphere.

At the equator (for example) the warm air rises up to the troposphere and moves as wind to the 30 degree latitude. Other global winds occur in much the same way.

These are called Weather Cells : POLAR CELL...FERREL CELL...HADLEY CELL

HOPE THIS HELPS!!
