Which of the Following Choices Includes All of the Others

Question

Which of the following choices includes all of the others in creating global terrestrial climates?
A) differential heating of Earth's surface
B) ocean currents
C) global wind patterns
D) evaporation of water from ocean surfaces
E) Earth's rotation on its axis

Accepted Answer

Differential heating of Earth's surface is the primary factor that drives global terrestrial climates. Ocean currents and wind patterns are influenced by differential heating, while evaporation of water from ocean surfaces and Earth's rotation on its axis contribute to specific regional climates rather than global patterns.
