Wind is caused by differences in the atmospheric pressure.A differences atmospheric pressure exists, air moves from the higher to slower pressure area, in wind of various speed.When rotating planet, air will also deflected.
The picture above is how the wind exist causing the warm air.
Movements of airs are influenced by local conditions and local temperature.
What drives the wind?
Warmth of the sun and the rotation of the earth.The sun heats the air of good part in oceans, and rotation of the earth that air on to land masses.The sun also heats warm over the land masses.
The general circulation of the atmosphere, caused by uneven heating of the Earth's surface, is the driving force behind our weather and climate. Energy from the sun causes evaporation from tropical oceans and uneven heating of land and sea surfaces.
Good effects of wind It only requires wind to work It is domestic source of energy. Its a renewable resource with huge potential It is considered to be a green source of energy.
Bad effects of wind
Wind energy only works as long as the wind blows.
The only way to store it is with a battery.
Storage is expensive during peak prod.
Wind energy produces less electric then fossil fuel.
In places wind strength is to low to create electricity.
