When a strong wind blows at you, you can feel the urge to lean forward to compensate the force applied by the wind on your body surface, so not to tip over. Hence, wind applies pressure, which is the force divided by the projected area of the surface. Wind pressure is related to the square of the wind speed.

When air exerts a force it is called?
-- Pressure -- Wind
Why do tornadoes have such high wind effects?
Pressure differences are the main driving forces for wind. The greater the pressure difference over a given area, the greater the wind speed. Tornadoes produce very low pressure in a very small area.
What are the different kinds winds?
Wind is the movement of air from areas of high pressure to low pressure, there are no "types" of wind. Wind is mainly caused by the heating and cooling of the earth via the sun.
Which direction does wind move?
Roughly from high pressure toward low pressure.
Where does the wind begin?
Wind is caused by differences in atmospheric pressure: it doesn't have a specific origin.
How does pressure affect the direction of wind flow?
Wind is a cousin to the pressure. Pressure moves the wind.
How is wind speed related to pressure differential?
wind speed means how fast wind goes. the more pressure, the faster the wind. :)
How is wind moved?
Wind is moved by a high pressure turning into a low pressure.
What is the wind pressure in pune India?
i would like to know about wind pressure in pune
The movement of air caused by differences in air pressure?
Wind. or cold to warm lol
What is air that moves from regions of high pressure to regions of low pressure?
Movement of air from hogh pressure area to low pressure area is called wind.
Why do high pressure usually have clear skies?
Wind moves from high pressure to low pressure, the wind brings clouds with it. away from the high pressure areas
When air moves from an area of low pressure it causes?
Wind
Does high pressure areas have strong wind speed?
No. Wind in high pressure systems are usually gentle.
What are 3 things that cause storms?
low-pressure, humidity, temperature, and wind
What instrument is used to predict wind speed?
A series of barometers can be used to predict wind speed and direction. Wind will move from higher pressure areas to lower pressure areas. The higher the pressure differential the higher the wind speed will be.
Will wind always blow to the high areas of high pressure?
No. Wind blows away from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
