What causes wind? Wind is caused by air flowing from high pressure to low pressure. Since the Earth is rotating, however, the air does not flow directly from high to low pressure, but it is deflected to the right (in the Northern Hemisphere; to the left in the Southern Hemisphere), so that the wind flows mostly around the high and low pressure areas.
This is in contrast to the term bearing, which indicates the direction toward which an object is moving. The result is that an east wind, for example, would cause a balloon to follow a westerly bearing, and regarding your specific example, a NW wind is a wind that would carry a balloon toward the southeast.Copyright 2011 by Capitol Broadcasting Company.y Justin Diebold.
