Solution
The main cause of wind movement is uneven heating on the earth.
Explanation:
The Sun heats the Earth’s surface unevenly due to factors like the tilt of the Earth, the shape of the Earth and the varying properties of land and water. This uneven heating causes differences in air temperature and pressure, leading to the movement of air from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas, which we perceive as wind.
