Because the more air pressure there is, it moves the winds in all directions because the air pressure goes in all different directions. That is why we are not flat right now. Think about it - "air pressure"
means air is exerting pressure. If there are differences, air in one area is exerting more pressure than air someplace nearby. So the air with the greater air pressure pushes into the air that is not pressing as hard. Simplest way I can think to say it.

Are winds caused by differences in air pressure?
Yes!
Is it true or false that winds are caused by differences in air pressure?
yes this is true. this is also why you can get stronger winds if the pressure gradient in the atmospshere is greater
How is the formation of global winds and small scale winds similar?
Winds are caused by differences in air pressure, winds move from high to low pressure. Has something to do with the coriolis effect.:]
Strong winds are primarily caused by?
The air pressure differences result mostly from the uneven heating of earth's surface.
What are winds affected by?
Global winds are *e*ffected by differences in air pressure caused by uneven solar heating of the atmosphere.
What are global winds affected by?
Global winds are *e*ffected by differences in air pressure caused by uneven solar heating of the atmosphere.
What happens to the air when the air pressure differences are small?
When pressure differences are small you get light winds.
What kind of currents cause wind?
Winds are caused by differences in air pressure not currents. Air under high pressure moves toward areas of low pressure.
Differences in air pressure creates?
Winds.
Winds are caused by?
air pressure
Would there still be winds if the earth's surface where the same temperature everywhere?
These 2 sentences will help answer your question: Differences in air pressure are generally caused by the unequal heating of the earth. The definition of wind is the movement of air caused by differences in air pressure. Therefore, no, there would not be wind.
Can Air pressure cause strong winds?
Wind is moving air that is caused by differences in air pressure inside our atmosphere. The air below high pressure moves toward areas of low pressure. The greater the variation in pressure, the quicker the air runs.
