Wind is a form of solar energy. Winds are caused by the uneven
heating of the atmosphere by the sun, the irregularities of the
earth's surface, and rotation of the earth. Wind flow patterns are
modified by the earth's terrain, bodies of water, and vegetation.
People use this wind flow, or motion energy, for many purposes:
sailing, flying a kite, and even generating electricity. Learn
