The basic cause of all winds can be traced to contrasts in temperature. These differences occur because air is not heated at all points with equal intensity. The differences also occur on scales of varying magnitude. A coal-stove fire, for example, causes differences of heating in a small cabin, At the seashore on a summer afternoon, differences in temperature exist between the hot sand and cool water. On a planetary scale, the equatorial belt is warmer than the Temperate Zones. When air is heated, its molecules are agitated and their movement accelerated. They tend to draw away from one another and the air expands. As the molecules expand, they occupy a greater volume and the density of the heated air parcel is decreased. Like a huge invisible bubble, the heated air starts to rise. Surrounding cooler air flows in to replace the rising air. This movement of air, from cooler (higher pressure) to warmer (lower pressure) areas is wind. SOURCE: Bob Trach at http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/wea00/wea00187.htm
