Unequal heating of atmospheric air

Vedclass · Answer

(B) Winds are generated due to the unequal heating of atmospheric air by the Sun. When air is heated,it becomes lighter and rises up,creating a region of low pressure. Cooler air from high-pressure regions rushes in to fill this space,resulting in the movement of air,which we perceive as wind. This process also facilitates the movement of water vapour,which eventually cools and condenses to form clouds.
