Instructions
The  worlds  atmosphere  is  forever  on  the  move.  The  wind  is  air  in  motion.  Sometimes  air  moves  slowly,  giving  a  gentle  breeze.  At  other  times  it  moves  rapidly,  creating  gales  and  hurricanes.    or  fierce,  the  wind  always  starts  in  the  same  way.  As  the  sun  moves  through  the  sky,  it  heats  some  parts  of  the  sea  and  land  more  than  others.  The  air  above  these    spots  is  warmed,  becomes  lighter  than  the  surrounding  air,  and  begins  to  rise.  Elsewhere,  cool  air  sinks,  because  it  is  .  Winds  blow  because  air  squeezed  out  by  sinking,  cold  air  is  sucked  in  under  rising,  warm  air.  Winds  will  blow  wherever  there  is  a    in  air  temperature  and  pressure,  always  flowing  from  high  to  low  pressure.  Some  winds  blow  in  one  place  and  have  a  local  name  -  North  Americas  chinook  and  Frances  mistral.  Others  are  part  of  a  huge  circulation  pattern  that  sends  winds  over  the    globe.
