Wind primarily moves gases, such as air, but can also move other materials like dust, seeds, and pollutants. The movement of these materials is influenced by the speed and direction of the wind, as well as the weight and shape of the particles.
A windsock is typically made from lightweight, durable materials such as nylon or polyester. These materials are weather-resistant and allow the windsock to move freely in the wind to indicate wind direction and speed.
While it is true that wind can move materials such as dust, sand, and debris more easily than water due to its ability to generate force over larger distances, in certain situations such as erosion of rocks and soil, water can be more effective in moving heavier materials over time. The effectiveness of wind or water in moving materials depends on factors such as speed, duration, and the nature of the material being transported.
Sails on a boat, wind turbines, kites, and windsocks are examples of objects that need wind to move like windmills.
A wind turbine moves when the wind blows against its blades, causing them to rotate. The rotation of the blades drives a generator inside the turbine, converting the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy.
wind mills => wind power (eolian energy).
Two different things that move eroded materials are water, such as rivers and streams, and wind. Water carries sediment and eroded materials downstream or deposits them along shorelines, while wind can transport smaller particles like sand and dust over long distances.
A windsock is typically made from lightweight, durable materials such as nylon or polyester. These materials are weather-resistant and allow the windsock to move freely in the wind to indicate wind direction and speed.
Saltation is the term used to describe the process of wind transporting materials by causing them to bounce along the ground. This bouncing motion helps to move the material across the landscape.
Erosion moves material from one place to another place, by wind, water, ice, or gravity.
Wind causes erosion by deflation and abrasion. Deflation is the process by which wind removes surface materials.

Grass blades being lighter move in the wind.
Natural forces like wind, water, glaciers, and gravity can move weathered pieces to new places. Wind can carry smaller particles like sand and dust, water can transport rocks and sediments through rivers and oceans, glaciers can push large boulders, and gravity can cause rockfalls and landslides to move materials downslope.
When the wind blows it causes energy to move around and makes objects move.
A sand dune will always move with the prevailing wind (downwind). It would not be able to move into the direction of the prevailing wind (upwind).
Olden day ships move by the wind, the wind pushes the sail and it goes to the direction the wind is going.
