Winds are currents of air that move across the earth’s surface and develop when two adjacent air masses have different densities. The movement of air masses above the earth’s surface helps to create wind, and help to move the air masses that predict our weather. (University of Hawai, College of Education, 2024. Wind Formation https://manoa.hawaii.edu/exploringourfluidearth/physical/atmospheric-effects/wind-formation)

In sedimentology, winnowing is the natural removal of fine material from a coarser sediment by wind or flowing water.
