Excellent question.The wind is the result of three forces acting on a given parcel of air - pressure differences move the air to begin with, and once the air begins to move it is affected by friction if it is near the earth's surface and the coriolis force which accelerates the air to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left of the direction of flow in the southern hemisphere. The initial pressure differences which begin the process of air flow are caused by differential heating of the earth's surface.

Wind blows generally parallel to the ground due to atmospheric pressure difference in different places.Sometimes even if there is no pressure differance between two places on the surface level, pressure differance may exist on higher levels over the same two places and in that case winds may blow at that level between the two places with more velocity.

Different places hv different temperature.
It make air cool & hot.
If air get hot it goes up.
There should something to fill up that space.
So air from another place comes to fill that place.
That is how wind blows.

Air moves from higher pressure to lower pressure. When it moves, we call it wind.
