The video explains how wind is generated by air moving from high to low pressure areas, with its strength measured on the buffo scale. Local and global wind patterns help balance pressure differences across various land surfaces. The equatorial calms, a region with minimal wind, initiate a global wind cycle that redistributes air and balances Earth's temperature. This cycle involves trade winds and the formation of six giant wind cells, which are crucial for maintaining temperature equilibrium between the equator and the poles.
