The wind is described as air molecules moving horizontally across the surface of the earth. The wind is first pushed by differences in atmospheric pressure .
High pressure pushes the air towards low pressure.
Friction produced between the air and the earth's surface. A deep low pressure system will make the air flow quickly around the low. Moving air is similar to water running down a hill. A strong high pressure system will push the air with more force. Winds are named by where they are coming from.
