where does the wind actually come from? how is it created?

Question

serious answers please, i'm not talking about gas.

Answer 1

Serious answers? OK, here it is. The wind comes from the wind sprites who circle the globe looking for lemon aid. When they zip by it creates a breeze. When they catch wind (ha, a pun) that's there's lemon aid somewhere they all zip over at the same time causing a big wind.

Oh by the way, twin is an ole witch whose jealous of our relationship. A lot of wind comes out of her. lol

Answer 2

Because there is a pressure difference in the air. Air moves fromhigh pressure to lower pressure. If the air is warm, it weighs less and forms a region of low pressure. Likewise, cool air forms high pressure. If the Earth was perfectly flat and uniformly colored, there would be no winds, because the surface is uniformly heated. But if we have two areas that have different albedo (or heat capacities), then we will have lifting. For example: Wind blows off a lake onto the land during the day. This is because the land surface heats up and the air rises, pulling air over the land from the water. At night the land surface cools much faster than the water, so the air over the water is warmer than the air over the land. The wind direction flips, and now the wind comes from the land to the water.

Answer 3

Wind is created by differences in pressure. Air in high pressure areas moves to low pressure areas in much the same way air is released form a tyre if you open the valve.

The high pressure areas are formed by differential heating of the Earths land surface and atmosphere as it spins. Wind doesn't travel in a straight line: the Earth is spinning so the air moving about in the atmosphere also spins as it moves away from the equater, giving wind a curved path.

Answer 4

gutuku is right in his explanation.

Basicaly everything is liked to the temperature.
air move from warm to colder areas then, it becomes wind.

It happens because everything has a mass and it cannot be at the same place at the same time. when large mass of air is hetaed it moves and this movement is like when you trow a rock into a lake, it moves everything around.

Air movement create the wind. Air movement is created due the action of sun during the day and its effects during the night. Of course there are also subsequent events from other cause, but they are exceptions and I'll skip it.

Answer 5

Wind is the roughly horizontal movement of air (as opposed to an air current) caused by uneven heating of the Earth's surface. It occurs at all scales, from local breezes generated by heating of land surfaces and lasting tens of minutes to global winds resulting from solar heating of the Earth. The two major influences on the atmospheric circulation are the differential heating between the equator and the poles, and the rotation of the planet (Coriolis effect).

Answer 6

It was mainly produced in the West Midlands, starting just after the industrial revolution, but due to cost cuts, it's now farmed in the Philippines. It must be said that although there is a greater turnover of wind it isn't of the same quality.

Answer 7

Wind occurs because of horizontaland vertical differences (gradients) in atmospheric pressure. Accordingly, the distribution of winds is closely related to that of pressure. Near the Earth's surface, winds generally flow around regions of relatively low and high pressure—cyclones and anticyclones, respectively. They rotate counterclockwise around lows in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise around those in the Southern Hemisphere. Similarly, wind systems rotate around the centres of highs in the opposite direction.

In the middle and upper troposphere, the pressuresystems are organized in a sequence of high-pressure ridges and low-pressure troughs, rather than in the closed, roughly circular systems nearer the surface of the Earth. They have a wavelike motion and interact to form a rather complex series of ridges and troughs. The largest of the wave patterns are the so-called standing waves that have three or four ridges and a corresponding number of troughs in a broad band in middle latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. The westerlies of the Southern Hemisphere are much less strongly affected by standing disturbances. Associated with these long standing waves are the short waves (several hundred kilometres in wavelength) called traveling waves. Such traveling waves form the upper parts of near-surface cyclones and anticyclones to which they are linked, thus guiding their movement and development.

At high latitudes the winds are generally easterly near the ground. In low, tropical, and equatorial latitudes, the northeasterly trade winds north of the intertropical convergence zone (ICZ), or thermal equator, and the southeasterly trade winds south of the ICZ move toward the ICZ, whichmigrates north and south with the seasonal position of the Sun. Vertically, winds then rise and create towering cumulonimbus clouds and heavy rain on either side of the ICZ, which marks a narrow belt of near calms known as the doldrums. The winds then move poleward near the top of the troposphere before sinking again in the subtropicalbelts in each hemisphere. From here, winds again move toward the Equator as trade winds. These gigantic cells with overturning air in each of the hemispheres in low latitudes are known as the Hadley cells. In the mid-latitudes, oppositely rotating wind systems called Ferrel cells carry surface air poleward and upper tropospheric air toward the Hadley cells. The three-dimensional pattern of winds over the Earth, known as general circulation, is responsible for the fundamental latitudinal structure of pressure and air movementand, hence, of climates.

On a smaller scale are the local winds, systems thatare associated with specific geographic locations and reflect the influence of topographic features. The most common of these local wind systems are the sea and land breezes, mountain and valley breezes, foehn winds (also called chinook, or SantaAna, winds), and katabatic winds. Local winds exert a pronounced influence on local climate and are themselves affected by local weather conditions.

Wind speeds and gustiness are generally strongestby day when the heating of the ground by the Suncauses overturning of the air, the descending currents conserving the angular momentum of high-altitude winds. By night, the gustiness dies down and winds are generally lighter.

Answer 8

im not really sure, but when i was 8 and asked my grandfather, he told me , its a chain reaction from a butterfly, a flap of wind that generates more and more force as it meets with other butterflys flaps, lol well im sure there is more scietific answers, but i will always love this 1 best

Answer 9

winds are caused by the movement of air from high pressure zone to low pressure zones...they pressure differwnce is caused by the temperature difference caused by the sun.

Answer 10

wind comes from nowhere.it just blows because of the pressure difference between two places.it blows from the place of high pressure to low pressure.
