Can someone please do a summary on how wind works? 7-9 sentences please I will mark brainliest!
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Wind is the movement of air. It forms when air moves from areas of high-pressure to areas of low pressure. These pressure differences are caused by temperature differences on Earth's surface. The movement is a result of different places on Earth receiving different amounts of energy from the sun. Two types of winds are global and local. Global wind systems determine weather patterns for the entire planet. Local winds are sea and land breezes that occur due to uneven absorption of solar energy.
