Here's why:
* Air Pressure: Air pressure is the weight of the air above a certain point.
* High Pressure: Areas of high pressure have more air molecules packed together, making the air denser. This dense air wants to spread out.
* Low Pressure: Areas of low pressure have fewer air molecules, making the air less dense. This creates a "suction" effect, pulling in air from surrounding areas.
The Process:
1. Air moves from high to low pressure: Air naturally flows from areas where it is compressed (high pressure) to areas where it is less compressed (low pressure). This creates wind.
2. The Coriolis Effect: The rotation of the Earth deflects these winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
