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 the delay of the harmattan?
The Harmattan is a hot, dry and dusty wind (continental trade wind) blowing over West Africa. I know not why it might be delayed.
What are the four major processes that form sedimentary rocks?
wind water ice gravity
What are a common form of wind deposit in desert regions and near lakes and oceans?
loess
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.
Which spheres of the earth system interact to form a surface current?
The spheres that interact to form a surface current are the hydrosphere (oceans) and the atmosphere (wind). Surface currents are driven by the wind patterns on the ocean's surface. The wind causes the movement of water at the surface, creating ocean currents.
What agent of erosion causes loess?
Wind is the primary agent of erosion that causes loess. Fine particles of silt and clay are carried by the wind over long distances before settling and accumulating to form thick deposits of loess.
What are two main components of a tropical storm system that causes incredible damage?
rain and wind
What is wind energy kinetic or potential?
Wind energy is a form of kinetic energy. It is generated by the movement of air molecules, which causes the blades of wind turbines to spin and produce electricity.
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.
When an obstacle causes wind to slow down and deposition materials pile up and eventually form a?
rocks
When an obstacle causes wind to slow down and deposit the materials pile up and eventually form a?
rocks
What tornado creating ingredient causes the air to rotate?
Wind shear is a tornado-creating ingredient that causes the air to rotate. Wind shear is the change in wind speed or direction with height in the atmosphere, creating a twisting motion in the air. This rotation can then be intensified by other factors to form a tornado.
What causes wind to blow in gusts?
The pressure of the sun causes the wind to blow.
What causes solar nebula to begin to form a solar system?
Gravity.
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.
What causes winds in the atmosphere?
Energy from the Sun causes wind.
