Wind is caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere. When an area has warmer air than surrounding areas, the air rises which creates a region of low pressure. The areas around it have higher pressure, and therefore air moves from there to the low pressure area. The movement of this air is called wind.

What causes weather to happen on Earth?
Weather is caused by the atmosphere responding to uneven heating of the Earth by the sun. The uneven heating results in temperature differences. These are what are known as cold fronts, warm fronts and other phenomena.
What are winds affected by?
