Wind moves moisture from the oceans and lakes (water evaporates from these bodies and is carried by the air) onto land. Wind drops rain and snow on highlands which runs down mountains to make rivers taking along erosion products and nutrients. Wind erodes by "sand blasting" rock.

One example of how wind may affect living things in an ecosystem is using plants. If there is top heavy plant (say a daffodil) growing in a garden and then one season there are increased winds in that area, the daffodils would get blown over. If the daffodils are blown over, bees (and other insects) can't feed on it's nectar.

This would mean that the daffodils would not pollenate and the insects would die. If there were less insects, birds would have less to feed on, and so on.

This is just one example, there are probably thousands of others.

How might a drought affect a community of organisms?

When an ecosystem has a drought, it makes it hard for any living thing to adapt to the new change in climate. It usually kills a drastically large amount of animals and plants, because sometimes living things aren't smart enough to quickly change their lives in order to survive the drought.
