The movement revolves around the Low Pressure System. At the center of a Low, air rises. That air descends in High Pressure Systems, that exist wherever Lows do not. This means that the Low Pressure System is the active feature of the [lower 10 km's of the] Atmosphere.

The curved paths of global winds and surface currents are caused by warm air near the equator.
Wind is caused by the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. This movement is influenced by the Earth's rotation, temperature differences, and the topography of the surrounding area. As the air moves in a circular motion, it creates the sensation of wind.
The difference in temperature in air causes movement as warm air rises and cold air sinks. The Earth's rotation also has a small affect.

it moves a lot!
Winds are simply the movement of air. A large difference in pressure over a given area causes a large amount of air to be moved. The larger the pressure difference, the stronger the winds. When warm air (usually from a high pressure system) collides with cold air (usually a low pressure system) storms are sometimes created.
The circular movement of air that causes land breezes is known as a local wind pattern. During the day, the sun heats up the land more quickly than the water, causing warm air to rise over the land. This creates an area of low pressure, which draws in cooler air from the water, resulting in a land breeze.
The ultimate source of heat energy that causes winds is the Sun. The Sun heats up the Earth's surface unevenly, creating temperature differences that lead to variations in air pressure. These pressure differences then drive the movement of air, creating winds.
Air movement can be classified as either local winds, such as sea breezes and mountain winds, which are influenced by local geographic factors; or global winds, such as trade winds and westerlies, which are driven by the Earth's rotation and the unequal heating of the planet's surface.
