Description
Where does wind begin?
It can mess up your hair, slam doors shut and send umbrellas tumbling down the street, but what gets all that invisible air moving? Inspired by an excellent question from Judah in Wollongong, Christie discovers how the Sun and differences in air pressure create everything from refreshing sea breezes to wild gusts. Plus, why buildings can create wind tunnels... and the special weather ingredients needed to form cyclones and tornadoes.
