Wind is moving air that is caused by differences in air pressure inside our atmosphere. The air below high pressure moves toward areas of low pressure. The greater the variation in pressure, the quicker the air runs.

Strong updrafts of warm air and sinking rain cooled air cause strong what?
Such conditions cause strong winds.
What is a snowstorm with strong winds and low temperatures is the answer?
air pressure
What does a steep air pressure gradient cause?
high winds
Strong updrafts and warm air sinking cause what?
it causes strong winds
When there is a great difference in air pressure between two areas winds are slight or strong?
strong
What does steep air pressure gradient cause?
High winds
Wind is the result of?
Strong winds are cause by unevenly balanced baromic air pressure along with being caused by heating and cooling of the earth;s air unevenly.
How does strong wind occur?
Strong winds occur when there is a steep gradient in air pressure, i.e. if the difference in air pressure is large, the air moves from the area of higher pressure to the area of lower pressure at a considerable rate, or velocity.
What causes the strong winds in a tornado?
Change in air pressure causes the strong winds. In fact, most winds that we experience on Earth are caused by change in air pressure. Usually significant changes in air pressure occur over a large area and therefore it's only a slow change in pressure over distance making light winds. In a tornado, you get a significant drop in air pressure over just a few feet of land. This causes the winds to get excessivly high.
Strong winds are primarily caused by?
The air pressure differences result mostly from the uneven heating of earth's surface.
What causes the strong winds associated with tornadoes and thunderstorms?
The strong winds in a tornado are causes by the steep pressure gradient surrounding it, with intense low pressure at the tornado's center. Strong winds in thunderstorms are usually caused by rain cooled air falling rapidly to ground level in an even called a downburst.
Air moves from which pressure systems towards which other pressure systems?
Air moves from high pressure systems toward low pressure systems. This movement is the cause for the winds.
