Wind is air in motion. Wind forms when the sun heats one part of the atmosphere differently than another part. This causes expansion of warmer air, making less pressure where it is warm than where it is cooler.
When hot and cold air meet, a vortex (tornado) will form due to the Coriolis Effect. How do hurricanes form? Hurricanes form from warm, moist air rising over tropical waters.
