Why do you think there are many wind systems between a pole and the equator instead of just one large single wind system

As a result, the Poles have high pressure (cold air) while the Equator has low pressure (warm air). Hot air from the Equator rises and goes toward the Poles, while colder air from the Poles lowers and moves toward the Equator, resulting in a continuous wind pattern.
