New answer: Convection currents in the atmosphere caused by diurnal and irregular heating of land and sea by the Sun.
=== Original answer: everything that moves causes wind so as the Earth moves round there must be something that is happenning around it to reduce its speed to be able to fit in a day or 24 hours.===
No. There are very high altitude slipstream winds but the atmosphere is carried round by the Earth. If it was not we would be living in a perpetual Easterly wind of terrifying speed: I'll leave you to calculate from simple pi "sums", the maximum Equatorial velocity of a pure slipstream on a sphere of 8000 miles diameter revolving at 15º/hour!

What causes current flow?
Current flows due to gravity. Example is the water current on a river. Wind is also another factor that causes current to flow, just like ocean water.
What causes volcanic rock to have no crystals?
rapid cooling, so that crystals do not form.

What causes tornadoes dry climates stationary fronts condensation or wind shears?
Condensation and wind shear are both needed for tornadoes to form. Tornadoes can form along stationary fronts as well.

What causes a wind to form?
That is something I needed help with but I used my science book and I found the answer witch is it forms because it is needs to form _Shayanna pet =)
Why has wind erosion shaped so many landforms in America southwest?
Because of the dry soil and hard wind (speed) causes so many landforms to form.
