Answer:

Wind

Step-by-step explanation:

Wind refers to a mass of moving air. Air has pressure. Air always moves from the region of higher pressure to that of lower pressure. The intensity of the pressure gradient determines the speed of the air movement. A higher pressure gradient imparts higher speed to the air movement. Hence, movement of air from high pressure areas low-pressure areas is called wind.
