Detailed explanation-1: -Wind is formed due to the uneven heating of the earth’s surface by the sun. Since the earth’s surface is made of various land and water formations, it absorbs the sun’s radiation unevenly causing differences in the temperature.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main cause of wind is a little surprising. It’s actually temperature. More specifically, it’s differences in temperature between different areas.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wind results from a horizontal difference in air pressure and since the sun heats different parts of the Earth differently, causing pressure differences, the Sun is the driving force for most winds.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cold air is more dense, therefore it has a higher pressure. Warm air is less dense and has a lower pressure associated with it. As the sun heats the ground, the air near the ground warms. Remember, heat is less dense than cold air so the warm air will rise.
Detailed explanation-5: -Wind is the movement of air, caused by the uneven heating of the Earth by the sun and the Earth’s own rotation.
