What creates wind and drives the wind currents?

Question

hmmm??

Answer 1

Unequal heating of the surfaces by the solar radiation causes temperature gradient leading to pressure gradient.This pressure gradient creats wind flow from the high pressure area towards the low pressure area.

Wind flow is influenced by this pressure gradient force,coriolis force,centrifugal force if the isobars are curved and to some extent frictional force near the surface.

Gravity also affects the wind flow as it pulls down cold(which is heavier) air which spreads over the surface affecting the horizontal flow of the air.

Answer 2

coriollis effect, sentrifugal force, and friction force

Answer 3

Mainly - the SUN

Answer 4

Wind is created by differences in atmospheric pressure and differences in surface and air temperatures.  Wind currents are driven by the rotation of the Earth.
