Wednesday 6th May 2020 - Science

Whilst throwing his foam aeroplane yesterday, Idriss asked me "Where does wind come from, Daddy?"

I was stumped, so I said I would ask my class on the blog. Can you find out how wind is created and give me some interesting information to impress Idriss?

He asks so many questions, so thank you for helping me!

Ciao for now!

    Wind is air in motion. It is produced by the uneven heating of the earth's surface by the sun.

    Wind is invisible but you can tell it is there because the leaves on the trees move and you can feel it on your skin. Wind can be cold or warm. When the sun shines, the air near the ground gets warmer. Warm air rises and cooler air moves under it, these air movements cause wind. The faster the air moves, the stronger the wind blows. The fastest wind (not in a cyclone) was in 1934 in New Hampshire. The wind speed measured 231 mph. Some of the windiest places in Britain are the Orkney and Shetland Islands. Strong winds can cause great destruction to buildings and trees.

    Wind is air in motion. It is produced by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. Two factors are necessary to specify wind: speed and direction.
