How Are Winds Formed?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Wind is the horizontal movement of air from High Pressure to Low Pressure.

    It's caused because the sun heats the planet differently, and over vast areas. As a place warms up, the air expands, causing a pressure change. Wind is simple high pressure air moving towards a low pressure region to balance things out. The boundaries are not normally so definite that you could notice the effect you described.
