The wind is the movement of air. It can be caused by the sun heating the Earth's surface, which causes the air to rise and cool. The cool air then sinks back down, creating wind.
Wind can also be caused by differences in air pressure. When there is high air pressure in one area and low air pressure in another area, the air will flow from the high pressure area to the low pressure area.
Wind can be gentle or strong. It can be used to power windmills and sailboats. It can also cause damage, such as blowing down trees and power lines.
The wind blew the leaves off the trees.
