Wind What causes wind? Asked by BookRagsHelper 12 years ago 12/31/2012 2:28 AM Last updated by anonymous 12 years ago 12/31/2012 10:33 PM
Wind is caused by air moving from high pressure to low pressure. The Earth's rotation influences this as well. The closer the high and low pressure areas are, the stronger the winds. One major convergence is called the Jet Stream.
