Why do some winds blow constantly, and some blow almost exclusively in gusts? What creates gusts? I know how wind is “made”, but how do gusts happen? If it’s the same thing, just on a smaller scale, wouldn’t it be like that all the time, and not depend on the direction of the wind?

Wind is caused when an area of high pressure balances with a nearby area of lower pressure. Think of blowing up a balloon, then letting the air out!
