📚 Quick Study Guide

• 💨 What is Wind? Wind is simply air moving from one place to another.

• 🌡️ Temperature and Air Pressure: Warm air is lighter and creates lower pressure. Cool air is heavier and creates higher pressure.
• 🌍 Wind Direction: Wind always blows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
