Earth's surface wind generally blow from regions of higher AIR PRESSURE TOWARDS REGION OF LOWER AIR PRESSURE. The direction in which the wind blow on the earth surface is a product of many factors, the most important of these factors are: pressure, friction and Coriolis effects. On the earth surface, the wind normally blow from high to low pressure. A high pressure system followed by a low pressure system allows the wind to flow in clockwise direction outward toward a low pressure system. This ensures the continuous flow of the wind.
