The forces that affect the horizontal movement of air are gravity and air pressure. Wind is caused by the differences in air mass temperature.

Horizontal movement of air in relation to earths surface?
Answer:Wind
Horizontal movement of air in relation to the earth's surface?
Answer:Wind
How does the Coriolis effect modify air movement?
how does force affect the movement
What is the net inward movement of air in a surface low pressure system that causes the air mass to shrink?
The effect is called horizontal convergence.
What areas have winds that are weak?
There the horse latitudes and the Doldrums. The doldrums are at 0 degrees latitude (equator), where the air rises instead of having a horizontal movement (wind). The horse latitudes are at about 30 degrees N and 30 degrees S of the equator. The horse latitudes are areas where the air falls, causing very low horizontal movement, also.

How does temperature affect air movement?
the hot air will rise and the cool air will sink
Does the horizontal motion affect the vertical motion of a projectile?
Not if you can ignore air resistance, it doesn't.
Is most of the air movement in the intertropical convergence zone horizontal or vertical?
The ITCZ is where a lot of air rises and precipitates - vertical motion.
In meteorology what is the horizontal movement of mass that warms or chills the air?
That would be something called advection. The air doesn't get warmed or chilled because of the horizontal movement of mass, but rather the temperature of the air changes because warmer or colder air is advected. In the case where warm air is advected, we call that warm air advection and in the case where cold air is advected, we call that cold air advection.
How do unbalanced forces affect a hot air balloon?
the higher you go the lighter the air is.
Does the shape of an object affect its movement?
In air, yes. In vacuum, no.
