Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Air generally moves from a region at high pressure to a region at low pressure. This moving air is called wind.
Detailed explanation-2: -When a low pressure area interacts with a high pressure area, the air tries to move to equalize. There is more relative energy in the higher pressure area, so it moves toward the lower pressure area. The movement is what creates wind.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wind is moving air and is caused by differences in air pressure within our atmosphere. Air under high pressure moves toward areas of low pressure. The greater the difference in pressure, the faster the air flows.
