Wind, a late 14th century word from the tacium sanitatus (biblioteca casanatensis, rome).   Wind is the flow of air or gases that is comprised of tiny molecules.  The measurement of these molecules is generated when there is a diffenerence in density between two air masses.  wind is measured in ten minute time intervals.  this movenment of molecules is happening all over the globe.  But wind is not limited to the earth, it can be found on other planets in our and other solar systems as well.  There are many factors that drive winds.  Land mass can have a huge effect on velocity and direction.  A difference in heating cycles between the earths poles and equator can triggger wind movement.  It also plays a major role in the earths environment.  In the early days of civilization, wind has inspired mythology.  It took the form of many gods varying from culture to culture.  It has also expanded the range of transport (ships) and warfare.  As civilization progressed technalogically, wind became a natural source of power for mechanical work.  It’s powers were even harnessed to produce electricity by the use of wind generated turbines.  It was even used as a source for recreation
