Winds are the large-scale flow of gases through the atmosphere and the mass movement of air is characteristic when considering Earth. The masses know very little about winds in spite of the fact that they are one of the most important concepts keeping the world function normally. Solar energy warms air and makes it rise, thus making it possible for cool air to move into its place creating wind. The fact that Earth's surface is composed out of a multitude of materials means that it absorbs energy at different rates. In contrast to land, water takes longer to heat or to cool because it has different properties, but this does not mean that winds move faster over the water, as the fact that there is less friction over water makes it possible for wind to travel faster there.
