How many years do you have for the answer? I can give you the barest concepts, but that is a very deep subject. I'll start with the largest scale issues and then develop some of the concepts that control mid-latitude synoptic scale flow. On a large scale, the wind in the tropics comes from the east, while in the mid latitudes it comes from the west. This is a manifestation of angular momentum conservation. At the equator, the earth is moving at about 1670 km/hr from west to east, while the speed drops with the cosine of the latitude, so at 45 degrees north (or south) it is moving at 0.707*1670 = 1180 km/hr. The air largely moves along with the ground speed, but in the mid latitudes there is air mixing from the tropics, which causes it to move a little faster than the ground, so it runs ahead, which means it seems to come from the west. The air in the tropics is moving a little slower that the ground, so it comes from the east. In the mid latitudes, the average day would have the air coming from due west. For complex reasons the air tends to form wavy loops, so that at some points it blows from the northwest and sometimes it blows from the southwest. Mid latitude easterlies aren't impossible, however. Usually they come from a cyclonic (counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere, clockwise in the southern) passing on your equator-ward side. Put your right hand on a weather map (left in the Southern Hemisphere), with the pinky side of your hand on the map and your thumb pointing up. Your fingers show the way the wind blows around a low. Even though the large scale flow is from west-to-east, locally the wind can be from the east.
Physics says that wind should move in a straight line from higher to lower pressure, but the rotating Earth causes the straight-line wind to curve as it flows. This is called the "coriollis effect."
Air masses move from high to low pressure, so wind is just air masses moving from high to low pressure.This is a use full answer and u guys know it
wind doesnt blow in straight because of different air pressure from different direction
The wind in a Tropical revolving storm blows in a particular direction; because of the earths CORIOLIS FORCE.
It blows from a higher pressure area to a lower one.
The wind began to blow The wind is the subject began to blow is the predicate
Well, Rain,wind,snow,sleet, or hail.
The influence of earths rotation is called the Coriolis effect. The coriolis effect causes wind to curve instead of going in a straight line.
a breeze at the seaa and they blow when the wind is turned on
Ignoring the coriolis effect, winds blow form high to low, therefore the wind would blow from west to east, it would be a westerly wind.
Its the Coriolis effect. In fact, the wind is trying to blow straight and the earth is turning under it in a circular motion. The resulting path of the wind on the earth is a curved line.
Straight line winds are, convective wind gusts, outflow and downbursts. Straight-line wind is wind that comes out of a thunderstorm.
The wind began to blow The wind is the subject began to blow is the predicate

The pressure of the sun causes the wind to blow.
Let the Wind Blow was created in 1967.
The wind can blow 24 hours a day.
Earth's rotation causes the trade winds, in a way. If Earth didn't rotate, the wind at these latitudes would blow straight from the subtropical highs to the ITCZ.
yes wind blows all the time....it might be not as windy to see.... but does wind is like water you dont know if it moving or not .but its tiny particules are always moving....with little movement
