My daughter asked me and I committed to being the father with answers so I quickly distracted her with grapes and found this video and explained it like I always knew 😎

The easiest way to see this graphically is to look at online weather apps that show both high and low pressure systems and winds (direction and speed), the correlation between the two is astounding. It does make sense.

I've been wondering about this for awhile, I should've known, makes complete sense

[steppedtuba]

Nice- I like how short it was. Thank you

The actual answer is the 4 winds their names are Boreas, Zephyrus, Notus and Eurus and I pray to them even though Crom laughs at them, laughs from his mountain.

It’s in Bible
Job 38:24 By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?

Does all this take place inside our "atmosphere/upper dome". Or outside of it?

Now tell me why it's been so windy everyday here since 2011, It looks like fall year round with all the constant debris and leaves getting stripped off. I guess it's just gonna get worst though.

I love wind:) Thank You for this concise informative vid👏I do still wonder if water is ALWAYS related~ or is it just cool pressure?

As a child, I held the belief that atmospheric wind was generated by a celestial cooling mechanism akin to a fan installed in the sky.

I didn't know air weighs anything. Weird.

I really don’t think it’s that simple this is base off science but who really knows the real answer

[FOHguy]

Wind is caused by a butterfly flapping it's wings on the other side of the world.

It’s usually Taco Bell, what, oh, I thought you said what causes the “winds”!!! My

[amar]

Nope still don’t get it, on to next video

[LoftLorian]

Huh. Never thought I'd learn something useful from someone with no style😂🙌

[fritzsmith]

"What causes wind?" mostly politicians. At both ends.

I am commenting #BringBackDislikes on every unique YouTube video that I watch for the rest of 2024, regardless of if I actually dislike the video or not. This is video 4721.

I HATE THE WIND!!! I HATE IT !!! Wish i could build a huge dome to get away from it.

And here I thought it was God blowing with his mouth to cool us off. 🤦
