pressure = 0.002558 times velocity squared where velocity is miles per hour and pressure is pounds per square foot
for example a wind of 75 mph produces a pressure of
0.002558x75x75 = 14 .39 pounds per square foot
since there are 144 sq in in one sq ft that is 14.39/144 = 0.1 pounds per square inch
In meteorological terms, differences in pressure are what drive wind. Air generally moves toward an area of low pressure. However, due to the rotation of the earth it gets deflected in large scale weather patterns. It is deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.

ViviWind speed is how fast wind goes and atmospheric pressure is the pressure that the atmosphere pushes on us.
----------------------------------------------------
The greater the difference in barometric pressure from a high pressure zone to a low pressure zone, the greater the wind velocity will be.

How does air pressure affect air movement?
Air pressure affects air movement because air moves from high pressure to low pressure. The air pressure pushes or will press the air around.
How do paper planes fly?
Paper airplanes fly because of the velocity and air pressure on either sides of the wings. Air is also pushed to the bottom upward to the plane.
What are 5 renewable energy sources other than solar energy?
