Wind is nature's way of equalizing between hot and cold. Wind always flows from heat to cool. When night falls, the air cools.

ADDITION; Specifically high and low pressure causes 'gradient wind', spiralling out from high pressure and in to low pressure just like a giant water vortex.

Thermal winds are different, but from the same phenomena, as cold air is more dense so drops, and hotter air rises, so sucking air in at the surface. On a coast (water is colder in the day) this is called 'sea breeze'. Contrary to the original answer it may then be said that the surface air (wind) flows from cold to hot. This reverses at night because the land cools down but the sea stays the same. This is called a 'Katabatic' wind or night breeze, from land to sea.

How does large variations between day and night temperatures cause weathering?

During the warm day, things expand from the increased heat. During the cold night, things contract as heat is lost. This process of expansion and contraction creates cracks and other stress points that cause weathering.Hence the temperatures cause weathering. Note: There are few substances that this expansion and contraction can be seen with the naked eye, but even the minute changes cause weathering, and when substances like water get into the microscopic cracks then freeze, it magnifies the effects as water expands when it freezes while other substances contract when they cool down.


Does the moon move in a regular pattern from night to night?

Yes it does, a pattern that repeats. Starting with new moon, when we see nothing, the moon seems to get bigger from night to night as the angle between Sun, Moon and Earth changes. The phases are named differently by different people but may be called new moon, new crescent, half moon, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, old half moon, old crescent, then new moon again. The cycle takes about 29.53 days on average.
