It can involve both large-scale and small-scale movements and is often influenced by factors such as pressure gradients, temperature differentials, and the properties of the fluid. For example, in the Earth's atmosphere, atmospheric circulation refers to the large-scale movement of air driven by differences in temperature and pressure. This circulation includes global-scale patterns, such as the Hadley, Ferrel, and Polar cells, as well as smaller-scale weather systems like mid-latitude cyclones. In the context of blood circulation, it refers to the movement of blood within the circulatory system of an organism. Blood circul...
