To turn completely or repeatedly; to become coiled about anything; to assume a convolved or spiral form; as, vines wind round a pole
A result due to the differences in air mass pressures (temperature) The wind blows as a result of nature trying to balance the differences The larger the differences between air masses, the stronger the wind
Movement of air relative to the surface of the Earth. Wind is an important factor in determining and controlling climate and weather. It is also the generating force of most ocean and freshwater waves. Wind occurs because of horizontal and vertical differences in atmospheric pressure. The general pattern of winds over the Earth is known as the general circulation, and specific winds are named for the direction from which they originate (e.g., a wind blowing from west to east is a westerly). Wind speeds are often classified according to the Beaufort scale. solar wind Wind Cave National Park wind chill wind power Wind River Range wind shear wind tunnel
