It's the change in air temperature. Cold air heats up and becomes hot air and rises up since hot air is lighter than cold air. The other cold air stays nearer to the ground and that is what causes the winds to blow.
Wind is the movement of air caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. This uneven heating creates differences in air pressure that result in the movement of air from high pressure areas to low pressure areas, creating wind.
Wind is simply air that is moving. Hot air rises and cold air settles. The earth plays a major role in wind because it spins. Because earth spins, the air in the northern hemisphere (everything above the equator on a map) moves to the right, and the air in the Southern Hemisphere moves to the left. This is known as the Coriolis effect.

How does wind start a wave?
Wind interacts with the surface of the ocean, creating friction that transfers energy into the water. This energy causes ripples to form, which then develop into waves as the wind continues to blow. The longer and stronger the wind blows, the larger and more powerful the waves become.
How fast of wind speed does it take to start a tornado?
Tornadoes typically form in severe thunderstorms when there is a significant change in wind speed and direction, known as wind shear. Wind speeds in a tornado can range from 65 mph to over 200 mph, with faster winds associated with more violent tornadoes.
Is a wind vane considered as a wind speed?
A wind vane measures wind direction, not wind speed. It is a device that points in the direction from which the wind is blowing. Wind speed is typically measured using an anemometer.
What does the east wind west wind north wind south wind mean?
The phrase "east wind, west wind, north wind, south wind" typically refers to all directions of wind. It is used to describe a full range of wind directions rather than a specific meaning.
What weather tool is used to measure wind direction?
An anemometer is used to measure velocity and is the spinning part on a weather station. A weather vane is an instrument for showing the direction of the wind. They are typically used as an architectural ornament on the highest point of a building. On a sailboat, the vane at the top of the mast is called a windex.

How dos wind start?
Wind happens when there is a change in pressure in the atmosphere which causes air to rush to the lower pressure area, thus causing wind.
