Wind is air in motion.What causes air to move?
Large quantities of air in a particular part of the world can get warmer than the air in other parts of the world.Maybe because of more sunshine,proximity to bodies of water(that's a whole other story!),or pollution,or whatever.The warmer air expands and rises.When this happens it leaves an "empty" space.The cooler air next to that area is denser,and therefor has a higher pressure.It moves into the "empty" space that the warmer air has just left.
That,in a nut shell,is wind.

the difference between air pressure (high and low) causes it. Where the 2 meet you get it I think on the gradient. I did this in a -level geography but it was a long time ago. so I hope I have not got it confused

Warm and cold air create wind. When you put warm air and cold air together, it creates movement.
The warmer or more colder the air is, it creates stronger wind.

hot air is light and cold air is heavy.
when hot air goes up it get's cold, so when it gets cold it comes down and pushes the cold air a bit up, and when the cold air goes up a bit, it get's mixed with the hot air so it becomes light, so goes up and agian when it get's higher it gets cold so it comes down and ...
and when they keep gong up and down they make wind.
