The rotation of our planet is dependent upon the wind energy developed in the arctic and antarctic regions. Both poles go through winter and summer seasons. When the north is in winter a low pressure depression develops and intensifies into a cyclonic storm that dissipates in spring and summer. The same occurs in the south polar region. The depression and cyclonic winds are the result of the atmospheric shrinkage in the absence of light and heat. Our weather in the northern and southern hemisphere moves from west to east distributing rotational wind energy toward the equator. At the equator hot thermal expansion takes place and this hot air bulges out high into the atmosphere and there moves east to west forming jet-streams that move toward the poles in a continuing cycle.
