“The wind flows from high pressure areas to low pressure areas” – interpret the statement.
Answer»
When any part of the earth heats up and causes low pressure, it means that there is more vacant space and less molecules.
Now air from other parts where the pressure is higher moves towards this vacant place.
It is not difficult for the wind to move along the earth’s surface and thus need not go too much against gravity any more.
That is why the wind flows from high pressure areas to low pressure areas.
