How could pressure difference in earths atmosphere contribute to winds?

The pressure difference works this way. You literally have more air molecules in a given area, a "high" pressure front. The air wants to reach equilibrium, so it flows to a "low" pressure, or less air molecules in the same given area, front. What you feel is air molecules moving from one area to another, or wind.
