Wind occurs because of horizontal and vertical differences (gradients) in atmospheric pressure. Accordingly, the distribution of winds is closely related to that of pressure. Near the Earth’s surface, winds generally flow around regions of relatively low and high pressure –cyclones and anticyclones respectively. Cyclones A cyclone is a large scale air mass that rotates around … Read more
