Which statement best explains how wind is formed?

• Air is warmed by radiation and air flow increases as a result of the

  warming.

• Pressure decreases as a result of frictional contact with earth causing

  air to flow more freely.

• Unequal heating of the land causes air to flow from areas of higher

  pressure to areas of lower pressure.
