Changes in atmospheric pressure at the Earth’s surface cause wind. Different parts of the Earth—such as the equator and the poles—receive different amounts of heat energy from the sun. This energy, along with the rotation of the Earth, help...

Wind is the movement of air over the surface of the Earth, from areas of high pressure to low pressure. But what causes the changes in pressure? There are a few concepts that we will have to explore to find exactly how this works, but ultimately all the energy on our planet comes from the Sun. ... What is wind?

The Causes of Wind ... As the air descends on the lee side, the adiabatic heating, plus the heat added to the system from condensation on the windward side, causes a very warm wind. Such mountain and valley winds may be very turbulent and can inflict severe damage.

The result of trying to balance and equalize pressure results in wind. The pressure gradient force acts on a horizontal plane. What causes the pressure changes in the atmosphere? The primary reason is through the warming and cooling of air.
