Q:
How does air move?
A:
Air moves becasue differences in air pressure. Air likes to move from high pressures to low pressures, as determined by the Bernoulli Principle. The Bernoulli Principle says that faster moving fluids create areas of lower pressures, while slow moving fluids create areas of higher pressure. Since high pressured air is stronger than low pressure air it begins to move into that low pressure area.
