Which of these does NOT help produce wind on Earth's surface?
A. the uneven heating of ocean water
B. the uneven heating of land and water
C. the formation of ocean surface currents
D. the amount of solar energy received by Earth

"The amount of solar energy received by Earth" does NOT help to produce wind on Earth's surface.

Option D

Explanation:

The wind is caused by the difference in pressure on the earth's surface from one area to another. The wind automatically switches from high to low pressure and is then called wind. We can usually say that the wind is caused by irregular warming by sun on earth’ surface.

The humid air of the equator hovers above the atmosphere and migrates to the poles. This is a low pressure system. At the same time, cooler, denser air flows through the earth's surface to the equator to remove hot air.
