What Causes Wind

Science · Weather & Climate · conceptual

Understand what causes wind: the Sun heats the Earth's surface unevenly, warm air rises because it is lighter, and cooler air rushes in to take its place — this movement of air is wind

What mastery looks like

  • Explain that the Sun heats Earth's surface unevenly
  • State that warm air rises and cooler air moves in to replace it
  • Define this air movement as wind

Check your understanding

Can What Causes Wind explain why wind blows — that the Sun warms some areas more than others, warm air floats upward, and cooler air rushes in to fill the gap?
