Wind

Wind is the movement of air around us caused by differences in atmospheric pressure, primarily driven by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. Warm air rises, creating areas of lower pressure, while cooler air sinks, creating higher pressure zones. Air flows from high to low-pressure areas to balance these differences, resulting in wind. It plays a vital role in weather patterns, distributes heat and moisture, and is harnessed as a renewable energy source through wind turbines. Wind speeds and directions vary based on geography, time of day, and atmospheric conditions.
