However, wind can also refer to the natural movement of particles in the atmosphere, and the resultant effects on weather and climate. Geographers use the word to describe the patterns of movement and distribution of earth's atmosphere and its physical surface. Meteorologists use the term to explain the variations in weather conditions over time.
