What if you came up with a plan to use trucks to transport dust from the Sahara Desert to another continent? Well, no one has. However, the wind constantly scuffs up clouds of sand from the desert, flies them over the Atlantic Ocean, and then to America. It may be that you don’t pay much attention to the wind; after all, you can neither see it nor touch it. However, by moving clouds, humidity, or hot and dry air around, the wind creates the weather. There are some places on Earth, where the wind always blows the same way, and there are others, where it is only windy during certain seasons. The wind has many duties in the natural world. It transports dust and seeds over hundreds of kilometers. It carves rocks. It can also rip off roofs and break branches. It is a source of energy. It allows us to produce electricity, go kite surfing or sailing, fly a hot air balloon, or in a glider.
