Wind is caused by differences in pressure in the atmospheric air surrounding the earth. The sun warms the earth, and its air, inconsistently. As different regions of air become warm and cool, the atmospheric pressure changes to pockets of low and high pressure. As these different pressure pockets collide, wind is produced.
Here is the answer:
Wind is the flow of air or other gases that compose an atmosphere (including, but not limited to, the Earth's). It occurs as air is heated by the Sun and thus rises. Cool air then rushes to occupy the area from which the hot air has just moved. It could be loosely classed as a convection current.
A current is defined as a large mass of continuously moving oceanic water
Surface ocean currents are mainly wind-driven and occur in all of the world's oceans. Examples of large surface currents that move across vast expanses of ocean are the Gulf Stream, the North Atlantic Current, the California Current, the Atlantic South Equatorial Current, and the West wind Drift. Associated with surface currents are counter-surface and underlying currents. Surface ocean currents are deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Coriolis effect.
Wind shear is when wind speed and direction are different over a short period of time. Shear can be vertical or horizontal.
The wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks. The wind speed is measured with an anemometer.

An anemometer is a device that provides information on wind speed and wind pressure. Sonic anemometers measure the wind speed and pressure of sonic pulses that exist between pairs of transducers.

Wind resistance may occur anywhere where there is something i the way of the wind. Whether it may be a person, a car, or a mountain, they all resist the wind.
when it wants to
on the sea surface :)
by the wind ofcourse ..
Deflation
A lot of wind storms occur in the Sahara Desert, and in Asia deserts, but wind storms can occur in any hot, dry places that have loose ground.
Wind Erosion mainly occurs near the ocean
Wind will occur.
They occur at the boundaries between the first, second, and third wind systems
Hurricanes occur because of the wind current and speed of the wind, the hotter the area is the worse the hurricane becomes. So no hurricanes don't occur because of environmental pollution.
Chicago all year.
Thunder, lightning, wind, and rain occur in the Earth's atmosphere.
