why is the wind on earth?

Answer 1

Wind is caused by uneven heating from the sun, which causes air molecules to rise and fall.

Answer 2

The root cause of wind, and all weather on earth, is the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the Sun. Land closer to the Earth's equator tends to receive more direct sunlight than land closer to the poles. The land then transfers heat energy to the air above it. Hot air expands and becomes less dense, and cold air contracts and becomes more dense. This leads to areas in the atmosphere of high air pressure and areas of air pressure. As anyone who's ever used an air pump or blown up a balloon knows, air travels from areas of high pressure to low pressure. That movement of air is wind.

Answer 3

Wind is caused by air flowing from high pressure to low pressure. Since the Earth is rotating, however, the air does not flow directly from high to low pressure, but it is deflected to the right (in the Northern Hemisphere; to the left in the Southern Hemisphere), so that the wind flows around the high and low pressure areas. This effect of the wind "feeling the Earth turn underneath it" is important for very large and long-lived pressure systems. For small, short-lived systems (such as in the cold outflow of a thunderstorm) the wind will flow directly from high pressure to low pressure.

Answer 4

The wind is there to catch our dreams and spin them like ribbons around the Earth.

Answer 5

Air is sandwhiched between the earth and the ozone, so when air gets hot, or cold, it expands or contracts, and since it's sandwhiched, there's nowhere for it to go but sideways.

Answer 6

"The summer wind came blowin from across the sea. It lingered there, caressed your hair... come walk with me, It lingered there, so warm and fair"......It's there cause still air drives us crazy, and the restless wind excites us. Quit thinking so hard.

Answer 7

It has to do with changes in temperature and pressure of the air, which result in movement.

Answer 8

cause that's where the air is
