- How Wind Energy Works: All The Facts
By: Michael Anderson | - In reality, wind energy is a form of energy from the sun, as winds arise when the surface of the earth is heated by rays coming from the sun. The earth's surface is irregular and consists of flat land, hills and mountains with masses of water and oceans. These are impacted by the solar rays in different ways. The heating effect is therefore different according to different areas.
The differential of warm air and colder air causes wind flows. Wind flows are in effect wind energ ...

- Wind Energy
By: C. Ozcan | - What is wind energy?
Wind energy is a converted form of solar energy. The sun's radiation heats different parts of the earth at different ratesmost notably during the day and night, but also when different surfaces (for example, water and land) absorb or reflect at different rates. This in turn causes portions of the atmosphere to warm differently. Hot air rises, reducing the atmospheric pressure at the earth's surface, and cooler air is drawn in to replace it. The result is wi ...
