Explanation:
Wind is caused by differences in the atmospheric pressure. When a difference in atmospheric pressure exists, air moves from the higher to the lower pressure area, resulting in winds of various speeds ... Surface friction also causes winds to blow more inward into low-pressure areas.

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
