In gases and liquids, heat transport take place by convection. Convection, unlike conduction, does cause movement. It is ...

Chapter 2 WINDS Notes - Mr. Ruggiero`s Science 8-2
... On a general level, wind isn't that complicated! You're right if you are thinking that it has something to do with the spin of the Earth, but more than that, it has to do with the fact that warm air rises (as you can see because hot air balloons work). When hot air rises, cooler air rushes in to fil ...

Atmospheric convection
Atmospheric convection is the result of a parcel-environment instability, or temperature difference, layer in the atmosphere. Different lapse rates within dry and moist air lead to instability. Mixing of air during the day which expands the height of the planetary boundary layer leads to increased winds, cumulus cloud development, and decreased surface dew points. Moist convection leads to thunderstorm development, which is often responsible for severe weather throughout the world. Special threats from thunderstorms include hail, downbursts, and tornadoes.
