- Wind is defined as the natural movement of air or other gases in relation to a planet's surface.
- Wind occurs on a range of scales, from tens of minutes thunderstorm flows to local breezes induced by land surface heating that last a few hours to global winds created by changes in solar energy absorption across Earth's climatic zones.
- The two fundamental drivers of large-scale atmospheric circulation are differential heating between the equator and the poles, as well as the planet's rotation (Coriolis effect).
- Monsoon circulations in the tropics and subtropics can be driven by thermal lows across topography and high plateaus.
- In coastal areas, the sea breeze/land breeze cycle may be characterised; in places with varied terrain, mountain and valley breezes can prevail.
