FAQ Air chemistry and physicsWind is basically air that is in motion. The air moves as a consequence of various types of air pressure on earth. Wind direction and wind-force can vary greatly. Wind-force is often referred to as cardinal points. Wind-force is expressed as a number called a Beaufort number, on the Beaufort scale. Wind-force is always determined about ten metres above land. Simply put, wind exists because solar radiation warms the earth. Heat and hot air rise, causing the air in the atmosphere to start moving.Related Questions
