What causes winds?

1 Answer

The uneven heating of the atmosphere in different regions of the earth causes wind. The air above the land gets heated faster and starts rising. As the air rises, a region of low pressure is created and air over the sea moves into this area of low pressure. This movement of air from one region to other causes winds. The rotation of earth and presence of mountain ranges also help in the formation of wind.
