Flatulence is the release of a mixture of gases known as flatus produced by symbiotic bacteria and yeasts living in the gastrointestinal tract of mammals. Flatus is released under pressure through the anus, often accompanied by odor and sound. Releasing flatus gases is known as farting in colloquial English.

People eat too much which is the biggest cause of gas. Of course as you get older you are more prone to gas and intestinal problems.

For all too many it's a form of self expression. ( Ick. ) Gas build up. Uninhibitted, intentional release. Lack of class/manners.

Gases surrounding the poop in your intestine are coming out because the intestines are pushing it out. Gases escape first because they aren't as dense as your poop.

air gets trapped in the intestines and has to come out.
