Where does the wind come from?

Professor Gizmo (Amazing Science Presentations) gives expert video advice on: Why does thunder make noise?; Is it true that all snowflakes are different?; What makes rainbows? and more...

The wind comes from the earth itself. Near the equator its much warmer, so the sun hitting the equator creates warm heat to rise. When this heat rises and then moves towards the poles. And as it moves towards the poles it begins to fall. As that air falls it then hits the earth which is moving, and that causes the air to spin around as the earth is moving and as it is following and creates wind. Most of the wind in northern hemisphere heads towards from west to east and in southern hemisphere its mainly from east to west.
