  Wind speed • Whichhas the greatest influence on wind speed? • Differences in the density of adjacent air masses cause the wind to blow. Colder air is more dense, and it sinks. Warm air is thinner and it tends to rise. When these two air mases meet, the movement is often in a circular pattern. But sometimes the warmer air simply rises quickly causing an upward draft. http://www.weather.gov.hk/aviat/amt_e/cause/microburst_e.gif https://scioly.org/wiki/images/4/44/SuperCell.png
