The forces that govern wind velocity include the pressure gradient force, the Coriolis âforceâ (an apparent force due to Earthâs rotation) and friction. The pressure gradient force is what causes the wind to blow. In the atmosphere, pressure differences are a result of changes in density due to warm and cold air. When warm and cold air is close together, we have a pressure gradient.
