Winds form in response to the?

Wind is caused from the way the radiation from the sun is absorbed by the surface of the Earth. The air is unevenly absorbed, which causes the hot air to rise and the colder air to sink. The air rising causes the pressure of the atmosphere to drop, the sinking of the air causes lower atmospheric pressure. Whenever the air moves from high to low pressure area, it creates wind.
