How do winds winds move?

In: Meteorology and Weather [Edit categories]

Answer:

Air density is subject to change by temperature and altitude. When air experiences a large change in either temperature or altitude, it expands or contracts, creating motion in the air. When high pressure and low pressure systems meet, winds can grow exponentially, as warm air rises over cooler air.
