what is wind?

Answer 1

Energy in movement.

Answer 2

Ironically wind does not blow so much as It sucks. It is air being sucked into a low that causes wind movement. The stronger the low the harder the blow and the larger the change of weather will be...

Answer 3

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).

Given a difference in barometric pressure between two air masses, a wind will arise between the two which tends to flow from the area of high pressure to the area of low pressure until the two air masses are at the same pressure, although these flows will be modified by the Coriolis effect in the extratropics.

Winds can be classified either by their scale, the kinds of forces which cause them (according to the atmospheric equations of motion), or the geographic regions in which they exist. There are global winds, such as the wind belts which exist between the atmospheric circulation cells. There are upper-level winds, such as the jet streams. There are synoptic-scale winds that result from pressure differences in surface air masses in the middle latitudes, and there are winds that come about as a consequence of geographic features such as the sea breeze. Mesoscale winds are those which act on a local scale, such as gust fronts. At the smallest scale are the microscale winds which blow on a scale of only tens to hundreds of metres and are essentially unpredictable, such as dust devils and microbursts.

Answer 4

Different parts of the earth warm and cool at various rates. When one part of the planet warms, air pressure in that area increases. Pressure tries to equalize between areas of high pressure and low pressure. Wind is the physical manifestation of air flowing from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure

Answer 5

air naturally moves from high pressure fronts to low pressure fronts

also if you look at weather maps those wierd looking squiggly lines
the closer together they are the higher wind speed you'll have

Answer 6

hot air and cold air hitting each other creates wind

Answer 7

Moving air (caused by differences in temperature or pressure in the air)

Answer 8

Ha, that's what comes out of my husband's rear end after he eats chili. LOL

Seriously? It's moving air.

Answer 9

air in natural motion, as that moving horizontally at any velocity along the earth's surface

Answer 10

Its moving air set in motion by trees =P
