  1. No.


  2. The air surrounding Earth has all been made since prehistory, modified by plant and animal life over the eons. The other answerers explained wind.

    Some air is absorbed in plant and animal tissues and the ocean, as well; some gasses emitted by volcanos are blended into the atmosphere, modified by life, and reused continuously forever.

  3. Wind is moving air.  The movement of the air is caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface.

    Air takes on the characteristics of the surface over which it forms.  Therefor, air that forms over a warm surface becomes warm.  As it is warmed, it expands,  As it expands, it becomes less dense.  As it becomes less dense, it rises.  Cooler air rushes in (across the earth's surface) to take the rising air's place.  The movement of the cool air is wind.

  4. No, air IS wind.

  5. No. Wind is the uneven heating of the Earth.

  6. No. Wind IS air. As air warms up it rises and more air, usually cool air, rushes in to take it's place. This can be observed daily near the shore where land-heated air rises and water-cooled air rushes inland. It can go the other way too, towards the water if the water is warmer than the shore.
