Which is the greatest effect on wind speed?
"The atmosphere is big. It was lots of air. There are high and low pressure systems. Think of high pressure systems as having excess air and low pressure systems having less air. Thus, the air will move from higher toward lower pressure. When it is windy outside, often there is a low pressure system the air is moving toward. How fast the wind blows will depend on the pressure differences between the high and low pressure systems. Very fast winds often occur near cold fronts, low pressure systems and jet streams. Wind can also blow faster when it is forced into a narrow space. This can happen between buildings and within mountain passes. The high and low pressure systems usually develop due to temperature differences. For this essay memorize this important concept: temperature differences result in pressure differences and this causes the air to move. This is true on all scales from the jet stream and low pressure systems to sea breeze circulations." - theweatherprediction.com ( http://www.theweatherprediction.com/kid_weather_questions/wind.html )
How do wind and Pressure systems generally affect climates?
Wind and Pressure systems affect climates? why did you ask that its easy to answer. Here is the answer: the Pressure from the Wind help make the trees shake and mabye tip them over.
Does high pressure areas have strong wind speed?
No. Wind in high pressure systems are usually gentle.
What if particles in the air are less crowded than in the surrounding air?
The surrounding air will rush into the less crowded air. When this happens, wind is created. This is what happens between low pressure systems and high pressure systems. Also, huge low pressure systems are prime locations for severe storms and super cells because of the strength of the wind.
Where does the wind in a high pressure system turn?
Remember this, high pressure systems usually go outwards, into low pressure systems in order to create an equilibrium. In the northern hemisphere, the high pressure wind turns right due to the coriolis effect, and opposite in the south.
How do pressure systems move?
wind
Do high pressure systems move clockwise or counterclockwise?
In the northern hemisphere wind blow around high-pressure systems in a clockwise direction. In the southern hemisphere, the wind blow is in the opposite (anticlockwise) direction.

Do wind turbines move to face the wind?
Most do, although some systems are mounted vertically and rotate around their mast. These systems have no need to move into the wind.

No. Wind in high pressure systems are usually gentle.
Does wind come from weather?
Wind is caused by variation in air pressure. Wind blows from regions of high pressure to regions of low pressure. Generally, high pressure systems bring good weather, while low pressure systems tend to bring stormy weather.
What if particles in the air are less crowded than in the surrounding air?
The surrounding air will rush into the less crowded air. When this happens, wind is created. This is what happens between low pressure systems and high pressure systems. Also, huge low pressure systems are prime locations for severe storms and super cells because of the strength of the wind.
Why do high and low pressure systems rotate?
wind
Does the wind move from high pressure area towards low pressure area?
Yes, it does move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. If it didn't we would have no such thing as wind.
Does the location of the global surface wind and pressure systems change over the year?
Yes, they move north or south following the vertical noontime sun.
Original source for wind?
Wind is caused by a pressure difference between two regions of air. The air from a high pressure zone, caused by a higher local temperature, will move into a low pressure zone. We feel the passage of this air is "wind".
