Air movement caused by pressure differences

Real World Example

Imagine you're at a crowded party, and there's a buffet table with everyone's favorite snacks that just got refilled. As people notice, there's a sudden rush towards the table, with guests moving to fill their plates. This scenario is similar to how wind works; just as guests move towards the snacks due to the attraction of an abundant food supply, air moves from areas of high pressure to low pressure to balance the difference. In this analogy, the buffet table represents the low-pressure area, attracting the "guests" or air molecules from the high-pressure areas, creating the movement we experience as wind.
