What is Wind?

The video explores the concept of wind, its origins, and how it is influenced by air pressure and temperature. It explains that wind is the movement of air from high to low pressure areas, driven by temperature differences between the equator and poles. The Coriolis effect, caused by Earth's rotation, influences wind patterns, creating complex global wind systems. The video concludes by highlighting the continuous cycle of heating, cooling, and rotation that results in various wind phenomena.
