this is a copy from Yahoo answers but totaly correct

When heat energy is added to a gas, the velocity of the gas molecules increases (greater kinetic energy of motion). The gas molecules collide with the walls of the container with more force and bounce off which results in a net force (or pressure) on the container walls. Unless the container volume is enlarged as the gas is heated the pressure of the gas must increase

Atmospheric pressure is caused by gravity pulling on the air around the earth. The entire weight of the atmosphere is acting on the earth, and that is what air pressure is.

What makes matter change forms?

Any type of reaction, really. You could add heat or remove heat (thermal energy) to cause the matter to change phase. Also pressure can compress the matter into a new form.


Are air and heat both matter?

Air is matter but heat is energy.


What is the matter amount of energy possessed by the movement of molecules in matter?

heat.


What is the atomic structure of heat?

Heat does not have an atomic structure. It is a form of energy, not matter.


What energy is the total energy of all of the particles in an object always flows from warmer matter to cooler matter?

Thermal Energy
