Wind is caused by a variety of factors, some of which are:

Changes in air temperature,

Changes in the altitude of the land beneath bodies of air,

The turning of the earth, and the friction this causes between the land and the air.

When an obstacles causes wind to slow down and deposit materials what is it called?

The obstacle is called a windbreak, which disrupts wind flow and causes particles to settle due to reduced wind speed. This process is known as wind deposition.


Explain the working principle of wind power?

Wind power works by converting the kinetic energy of moving air into mechanical energy through the use of wind turbines. When the wind blows, it causes the turbine blades to spin, which activates a generator to produce electricity. This electricity can then be used to power homes, businesses, and other electrical devices.


Is wind energy not from the sun?

Wind energy is indirectly derived from the sun. Wind is created by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun, which causes air to move and generate kinetic energy that can be harnessed for wind power generation.


How do you convent wind to energy?

The short and simple answer is this: A wind turbine consists of blades; similar to those of a helicoptor. These blades are attached to a generator. As wind causes the blades to move, the blades turn the generator to produce electricity. As to how a generator works; I'll have to leave that up to someone else to explain.


How does wind power generate?

Wind power is generated by using wind turbines to convert the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical power. As the wind causes the blades of the turbine to rotate, the kinetic energy is converted into electricity by a generator inside the turbine. This electricity can then be used to power homes, businesses, and other facilities.
