Differences in atmospheric pressure (i.e. air density) from one place to another.
Wind blows from high pressure areas to low pressure areas.
But not in a straight line. The revolution of the earth on its axis caused the wind to swirl in spirals instead (like water down a drain).
What causes differences in pressure? Generally, it's heat (or lack of it).

movement of air is what makes the wind blow.
Wind is caused by different pressures in the atmosphere. Since the Earth spins, the winds try to move to the right in the northern hemisphere, and to the left in the southern hemisphere.

This is one of those thing you never really think about until your here on Answers. I think it has a lot to do with the different temperatures in the atmosphere....kind of like currents in the ocean. When heat meets cool they swirl around...

as the hot air rises the cold air is pulled in to replace it and that is the current that you feel that is wind
