What is the relation between atmospheric pressure and wind movement?

Open in App

Solution

Wind moves from a region of high atmospheric pressure to a region of low atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure is dependent on the temperature of the air. Warm air exerts low pressure and cold air exerts high pressure. Because of this difference in pressure, the air starts moving from a high-pressure region to a low-pressure region. This moving air is also known as wind.
