wind
(noun)
1. Moving air, especially a natural and perceptible movement of air parallel to or along the ground.
2. A movement of air generated artificially, as by bellows or a fan.

wind is air molecules and ice crystals
Wind is simply the detected movement of the atmosphere from one location to another. The atmosphere of Earth is made of several different gases that actually behave liquids. Example of this is a fog machine, the fog from the machine will pour over the edge of a container and flow to the floor just like a liquid. Another example is natural gas and its tendency to flow across the floor. Most materials and compounds will expand and shrink when heated or cooled. The exact same thing occurs to the atmosphere as it is heated or cooled. The movement is called convection, the atmosphere heated by the sun usually, is 'lighter' or less dense and flows upwards. The cooler areas if the atmosphere are more dense and sink towards the ground. http://www.energyquest.ca.gov/story/images/chap01_convection.gif This graphic shows a model of convection. *Graphic was taken from: http://www.energyquest.ca.gov/story/chapter01.html The movement of the atmosphere from heat expansion and contraction is what makes the wind. Note: The meteorological system is highly complex and there are many factors that affect wind patterns beyond thermal expansion.

The amount of low or high pressure in the area moving at a constant speed. also determined by where the wind is coming from(south,north).
By definition, a hurrricane has sustained winds of 74 mph or greater. Sustained winds have been recorded as high as 195 mph.
A tornado can have winds of 74 mph. However, what you are probably thinking of a hurricane, as part of the definition of a hurricane involves winds of 74 mph or greater.
By definition it is a hurricane. A hurricane is a tropical cyclone with winds of 74 mph or more.
The prevailing pattern of easterly surface winds found in the tropics, within the lower portion of the Earth's atmosphere.
The winds of outer space are called solar winds. Not really air but it is the movement of gases and charged particles coming from the sun or the planets into outer space.
All hurricanes have had very strong winds. By definition a hurricane must have sustained winds of at least 74 mph.
Erosion.
Yes. By definition a blizzard has winds of at least 35 mph, but winds can be much stronger, and winds of 67 mph are very possible. Blizzards have produced wind gusts to over 90 mph.
what is the definition for soft,strong winds
It depends on the cyclone, and the tornado. In some cases cyclone winds and tornado winds fall into the same range. However, tornado winds are generally stronger. By definition, a tornado must produce winds strong enough to cause damage; the same is not true of a cyclone. The very strongest tornadoes produce winds in excess of 300 mph, the fastest winds on earth.
Local winds are winds that blow over short distances caused by unequal heating of the earths surface in a small area.
A category 1 hurricane is a hurricane with sustained winds in the range of 74 to 95 mph.
