A simple definition of wind is when air moves from a high pressure area to a low pressure area. This is the starting fact about wind – that movement of air is as simple of a reason to cause wind to occur. What causes the high pressure and the low pressure? These are differences are caused by the fact the sun does not distribute heat evenly across the planet. Some areas are warmed more than others and this variation of the sun’s heating causes the high pressure and low pressure areas which result in wind and subsequently, wind energy to be created. What…
