Where Did Wind Come From?
Because of the way Earth rotates, solar light rays heat some parts of Earth’s surface more than others. Air at hot spots rises and expands, leaving low pressure beneath it. Air at cold areas cools and falls, creating high pressure. When high-pressure air rushes into a low pressure area, that rush of air is WIND!
low pressure area
Globally, low-pressure systems are most frequently located over the Tibetan Plateau and in the lee of the Rocky mountains. In Europe (particularly in the British Isles and Netherlands), recurring low-pressure weather systems are typically known as “low levels”.
