Differences in air temperature - creates air currents, as cold air moves to replace warm air (which rises). The movement of the air is what we feel as wind.

What is the main cause of global wind patterns?
uneven heating probably
How does uneven heating of land and water cause tornadoes?
Uneven heating leads to convection and thus wind currents. Heating of water leads to evaporation, which moistens the air. As these moist air masses are moved by wind currents number of conditions, such as collision with cooler or drier air, can trigger thunderstorms as the moisture condenses. If the wind varies in speed and direction with altitude it can start some thunderstorms rotating. This rotating can go on to produce a tornado.
What do you call winds that change directions?
The uneven cooling and heating of the Earth by the Sun cause seasonal changes in wind direction. The heating and cooling causes temperature differences that then develop into wind currents.
Is global warming the primary cause of wind?
No. Wind is caused by a combination uneven heating of Earth's surface and Earth's rotation. There has always been wind on Earth and there always will be, with or without global warming.
What is it called when wind is by uneven?
Whent the wind is uneven
What is the uneven heating result?
wind
What are results from uneven heating of the earth?
wind
What are 3 results from the uneven heating of the earth?
wind
What is produced by uneven heating of Earth's hemisphere?
wind
What is produced by this uneven heating of earths hemispheres?
wind
How wind moves across earths surface?
uneven heating.
What is the main cause of global wind patterns?
uneven heating probably
How long can wind blow for?
Wind is caused primarily by the uneven heating of the earth's surface and atmosphere. There are many many factors which cause uneven heating and wind, which is why weather forecasting is so difficult! Ultimately, the sun provides energy to the earth which causes uneven heating and therefore wind. So to answer your question, wind will occur as long as the sun is shining - which scientists estimate will continue for the next 5 billion years.
What is the link between the uneven heating of the earth's surface and air movement?
Wind
What do convection currents resulting from uneven heating of Earth's surface form?
wind
What is the link between the uneven heating of Earths surface and air movement?
Wind
How is wind collected or generated?
The Generation from the result of the uneven heating on the Earth's surface.
