What is the relationship between air pressure and wind velocity

1 Answer

Air pressure is proportional to the square of the wind velocity.

Wind speed is how fast wind goes and atmospheric pressure is the pressure that the atmosphere pushes on us. The greater the difference in barometric pressure from a high pressure zone to a low pressure zone, the greater the wind velocity will be.

Hope this helped!
