#wind
You can't see it or hold it - but wind can knock over a building, carry sand across an ocean, and make it rain on the other side of the world.
So what is wind, really?
In this video, we break down exactly what causes wind, how high and low pressure work, why winds have names, and what happens when wind moves across the planet - including the place on Earth where it blows at 200 miles per hour.
What you'll learn:
- What wind actually is (it's simpler than you think)
- Why hot air rising is the engine behind every breeze and every storm
- How high and low pressure make wind stronger or weaker
- Why wind is named after where it comes from, not where it's going
- Trade winds, katabatic winds, and the Sahara dust that fertilizes the Amazon rainforest
