Is it drawn by low pressure or pushed by higher pressure?
I believe this typifies the glass half empty or half full issue.

Both. Air is drawn inward to a low pressure area and then rises, so you
could say that it is being sucked. OTOH, air descending at a high pressure
center flows outward, so you could say it is being pushed.

Probably been asked before, but I'm too lazy to google it.
Is wind caused by being "pushed" (blown) or "pulled" (sucked)?
