Answer 1

The movement of air is known as wind.

Explanation:

• The main cause of air movement is the differences caused and by pressure-temperature.

• The air, which is in warm temperature rises in an upward direction, whereas the air which is in cold temperature is denser and moves in the downward direction and replaces the warm air. The phenomenon is known as wind.

• The movement of air that occurs due to the difference in temperature and pressure is due to wind.

• The main reason for this pressure is due to the rotation of the earth beneath the moving air causing an apparent deflection of the wind to the right in the northern hemisphere and left in the southern hemisphere.

• The weather and climate of any place are only decided by the movement of air across the earth.
