Why does the wind blow?

The wind blows because of differences in air pressure. Instead, the wind blows anti-clockwise around the low pressure area in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. This is the effect of the earth's rotation, which produces a force, called Coriolis, that deflects the wind from its path
