B
Key Concept
Radiative Imbalance with Latitude
Explanation
The primary cause of atmospheric circulation is the radiative imbalance with latitude. This imbalance occurs because the equator receives more solar energy than the poles, leading to temperature differences that drive the movement of air masses.
