Is a quick-moving ribbon of air that moves from west to east high in the atmosphere This air current constantly bends and dips down to move weather systems around?
Jet Stream
What causes large weather patterns to move from the west to east?
it the air moving and the air moves the clouds
When air moves over a mountain range?
"Heavy rains on the west side of the mountains and deserts on the east side" Moving air over mountains is called lee waves. See related link.
Does the earths rotation make prevailing winds go north and south or east and west?
Prevailing winds move from North to South because cold, dense air in the poles moves towards the equator where it is warmer (it moves from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure). Because of the Earth's rotation, it causes air moving towards the poles to curve to the east and wind moving away from the poles to curve to the west.
How does weather generally moves?
east to west

That sounds like a description of the "jetstream"

Which direction does the earth move eastwards or westwards?
The earth moves from west to east; it moves eastward. This is why we observe the sun rising in the east. We are moving toward it. From the north, we would see this as a counter-clockwise rotation of the earth on its axis.

"Heavy rains on the west side of the mountains and deserts on the east side" Moving air over mountains is called lee waves. See related link.
Does the sun literally rise in the east and move across the sky and set in the west?
This is incorrect. The earth is what moves, causing the appearance of the sun moving.
Why the earth moves from west to east?
the earth moves from east to west because it feels like it
Does the earths rotation make prevailing winds go north and south or east and west?
Prevailing winds move from North to South because cold, dense air in the poles moves towards the equator where it is warmer (it moves from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure). Because of the Earth's rotation, it causes air moving towards the poles to curve to the east and wind moving away from the poles to curve to the west.
Why doesn't the earth move when we stand on it?
It is moving. The earth and it's atmosphere are turning from west to east at about 1,100 miles an hour, 24/7 due to earth's rotation. We don't have any particular sensation of moving because of how big the earth is.
What is the name of the winds that push weather west to east across the us found in the upper atmosphere?
It is called the TRADE WINDS.
Middle latitude weather moves in what direction?
It generally moves from the west, though it can even move from the east for short periods. This is due to the prevailing winds, The Westerlies, coming out of the west. This is a result of air that is generally moving poleward, whereupon it is deflected by the coriolis force.
