Q:
If there are currents in water, and air is a fluid like water, are there air currents as well?
A:
Yes! There are currents in the air. Differences in air pressure can actually create currents in the air, and we can feel this as wind. Birds and gliders use these currents to remain airborne while using little or none of their own energy.
