A Simple Slice of Science – What makes the wind?

nao

This week Dr. Simple answers a question that comes in from a lovely little girl who can sometimes be found here; she would like to know…

What makes the wind?

Did you like Dr. Simple’s explanation or did you find it “a load of hot air“?

Personally I preferred the little girl’s own explanation… she reckons the wind is made by the trees flapping their leaves! A much more simple, and beautiful, explanation, don’t you think?

Remember to keep your questions coming, just leave them in the comments below and Dr, Simple will be happy to answer!

    Oh thank you for answering Sábha’s question! She’ll be thrilled! It’s great to have it explained simply. (But I’m still sort of in love with her explanation anyway 😉 )

      Yes I am still much more taken with Sabha’s explanation than this one 😉

      Great hope she likes it, and remember, Dr. Simple will be happy to answer one of her own questions if she ever wants 😉
