WHY DOES THE WIND BLOW?

 
The statement below is WHY the WIND blows.....
 
For now, you need to memorize it.....as we learn more, you will understand each piece of it and be able to EXPLAIN EXACTLY why the wind blows....but for now, MEMORIZE IT
and write it down on the BACK of your Table of Contents sheet.
 
Here it is:
 
"Uneven heating of the earth's surface causes convection currents, which causes differences in pressure, which causes WINDS".
 
Know it.  Love it.
