DESCRIPTION

A wave formation that is caused by wind on a lake Wind is caused by a difference in atmospheric pressure, with air moving from the area of higher air pressure to the area of lower air pressure, which results in winds of various speeds. The sun heats the earth’s surface unevenly due to various factors, for example cloud cover. Air on surfaces with higher temperature rises and becomes less dense, creating low pressure. Air on cooler surfaces sinks creating high pressure. Warm air moving upwards and being replaced by cooler air is called convection. Wind direction is usually described by the direction from which the wind originates. Wind speed is measured by anemometers.
