Wind, is the movement of air from one area to another. Different types of winds have different causes.

The most common wind that we feel every day, is caused by a difference of pressure and the Coriolis effect . The cold air, with its more dense molecules has higher pressure, while warm air, has farther apart molecules has lower pressure. The higher pressure area pushing down on the lower pressure area causes the air in the changing area to be accelerated. The due to the Coriolis effect, the air is deflected in a certain direction, because of the spinning of the earth, which influences the direction of the wind.
