Which best explains why wind occurs?

• Wind is produced by precipitation, where rainy weather moves toward dry weather.

• Wind is produced by differences in cloud cover, where there are more clouds there is more wind.

• Wind is produced by differences in air pressure, where high pressure moves toward low pressure.
