Question

What is the underlying cause of air motion?

Answer 1

it is the Coriolis Effect! google it to find out more about it if you'd like.

Answer 2

If you mean winds, i believe it's when a big chunk of air gets warm, it rises, then the colder air around it gets sucked into where the first bit of air was. when the second chunk of air gets sucked into that gap, it causes wind.

Answer 3

Wind is created when the trees start moving and making the tree next to it start to move and so on and so on.

Answer 4

Ultimately it comes from the sun.  The sun shines on the earth, but due to the tilt of the earth and cloud cover, the surface heats unevenly. This ultimately creates pressure gradients, and the wind blows across these pressure gradients from high to low pressure in an attempt to maintain equilibrium.
