What causes the wind?
Uneven heating of the air in the atmosphere creates temperature differences.
Warm air expands and therefore is less dense with a lower pressure than cold air.
WIND is the result of the air pressure and density differences caused by warm and cool air.
Air flows from high pressure to low pressure areas, creating wind.
