explanation[1]="Air has mass, even though we can\'t feel its weight. Air moves from areas of high pressure, where it is heavier because of more air molecules, to areas of low pressure, where there are fewer air molecules. The bigger the difference in air pressure, the faster the wind blows. Which direction the wind blows depends on where you are on Earth. The dominant winds that carry storms across the United States, called westerlies, blow from west to east." 
explanation[2]="The world\'s highest wind speed, 253 mph, was recorded during a typhoon \(Southern Hemisphere hurricane\) off the coast of Australia in 1996. The typhoon was equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane. The highest wind speed recorded in the Northern Hemisphere was 231 mph, on top of Mount Washington in New Hampshire in 1934."
explanation[3]="Some plants, such as maple trees and dandelions, depend on wind to spread their seeds. Bald eagles and other large birds use wind currents and updrafts to soar. Migratory birds also use wind currents to help them fly long distances."
explanation[4]="inds can be global, national, regional, or local. In the United States, some winds only occur in certain parts of the country. A Norther is a cold winter wind that blows from the north into the southern and southeastern states. Santa Ana winds blow warm, dry, dusty air into southern California. A Chinook brings warm, fast, dry air into the eastern Rocky Mountains, including Colorado. Sea breezes blow from the ocean to the land along coasts."
explanation[5]="Wind makes cold temperatures seem colder. Cold air and wind combined cause the body to lose heat. A wind chill temperature measures how cold humans and animals feel when they are outdoors. The Wind Chill Index chart can help you calculate how cold it feels during cold weather in winter, and whether or not it is safe to go outside."
