What makes the wind?
Wind In Atmosphere
We all have experienced winds of varying impact. Some winds may be a slight breeze, while some winds have the power to jeopardize a 60-storey building. What makes these winds? Where did they start? Do they end? These questions may have puzzled everyone. To answer these enquiries, we have to understand the basic physical principle behind pressure transformation. Pressure difference creates a movement from high high-pressure region to low pressure region. This is also known as Bernoulli’s theory. This causes a movement of air from high-pressure regions to low-pressure regions. We experience this movement as wind. There are different pressure belts across the globe that cause different winds, including trade winds. The major pressures are the equatorial low-pressure region, sub-tropical high-pressure region, sub-polar low-pressure region, and polar high-pressure region. The pressure gradient created by these pressure belts causes the air to move from one region to another. This movement causes wind. Some winds begin at the oceans and reach the land as the breeze. Another major phenomenon behind the formation of wind is the pressure difference between land and ocean.
