What is the primary cause of wind?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand that the air around us is made up of different gases and has weight.
Step 2: Know that the sun heats the Earth's surface unevenly, causing some areas to be warmer than others.
Step 3: Realize that warm air is lighter and rises, while cooler air is heavier and sinks.
Step 4: Recognize that when warm air rises, it creates a space with lower pressure.
Step 5: Understand that cooler air moves in to fill the space left by the rising warm air, creating wind.
Step 6: Conclude that wind is the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
