What is wind?
incoming solar radiation from the Sun
the horizontal movement of air from an area of high pressure to an area of lower pressure.
The winds curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
Warm air rises and cool air falls toward Earth’s surface.
