Solution

Wind refers to the air in motion.

  • When the sun heats one section of the atmosphere differently from another, wind forms. As the temperature rises, the air expands.
  • The pressure of hot air is lower than that of colder air. Air pressure is constantly changing from high to low.
  • Thus, the wind is the movement of air.
