Secondary circulation refers to the smaller, additional patterns of air movement that occur within the larger, primary circulation systems in the atmosphere. While primary circulation is driven by large-scale factors such as temperature gradients, Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect), and the general circulation of the atmosphere, secondary circulation often arises from more localized phenomena. Examples of secondary circulation include: 1. **Sea Breezes and Land Breezes**: These occur due to differential heating between land and water bodies.
