Neat. This was the one phenomenon that I've yet to fully understand myself. I've briefly learned about the Coriolis Effect, and also understood that cloud formations were, in a way, indicating certain wind patterns and strength. Learning that air pressure isn't as consistent as I was led to believe cracked the code for me, since after that revelation, I realized that a change in air pressure is equal to an air-based button toy like a whoppee cushion -- High Pressure exhaust the air while Low Pressure is the room that collects the cold air inside the cushion.
So, yeah. It's pretty neat to learn that our Planet deliberately farts nonstop every second of every single day automatically. Makes those nice breezy days in the park feel all the more better to me.

I love the little disclaimer at the end of the episode. It's a very poignant reminder of how historical revisionism influences our view of everything from geography to meteorology, as well as the terms we use to discuss those concepts; I commend Crash Course for acknowledging that and seeking to give an unbiased report on the facts.

We were in the path of the strongest parts of Derecho last August, we got 97-101mph depending on which weather station you listened to. If you had asked us this question then I'd have said, -That way, real damn fast! - lol
Wind is a fascinating, deadly, and amazing phenomenon that constantly baffles me (as a fisherman.

This is a fantastic explanation of wind, continuity, pressure gradients, and the Coriolis effect, both for introducing non-scientists and as a recap for people in science! My meteorologist brain is just screaming at the map at 2: 44 because it breaks a lot of the rules of surface analysis

This video suggestion popping up on my lock screen is very concerning to me because I was having a phone conversation with a friend earlier about wind direction and what causes it.

Finally learned what atmospheric pressure is. The weight of air molecules above pressing down on the ones below. That shift of weight causes air movement, hence wind.

Ah, Strahler, A. Introducing Physical Geography. 5th Edition. Wiley and Sons.
I have a love hate relationship with that book and never want to see it again.

I love the -Hey let-s explain Great Circles; we don-t want to accidentally contribute to this flat earth thing-. Way to do your part.
