When a sailing boat is sailing into the wind the shape of the sail acts like a plane's wing and differential pressure across the sail propels the boat forward.
In a current, things that can move include water, air, and objects like boats or debris. This movement is typically driven by differences in temperature, pressure, or density within the fluid.
Balloon boats move due to the escaping air from the balloon propelling the boat forward. When the air is released from the inflated balloon, it creates a force in the opposite direction, causing the boat to move in the direction of the escaping air.
air moves from areas of high pressure to low pressured areas. therefore the pressure makes air masses to move around the equator. but where in areas where the pressure difference is small then the air mass doesnt move it becomes stationary.
Air pressure is the force exerted by the weight of air in the atmosphere. Differences in air pressure cause air particles to move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, in an attempt to equalize the pressure. This movement of air particles creates wind.
the air pressure decreases as you go up.

Air pressure decreases as you move from the troposphere to the stratosphere. This is because the weight of the air above is less in the stratosphere, leading to lower air pressure at higher altitudes.
differences in air pressure
Air.
Wind is caused by air moving from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. If you were to move up into higher air pressure from a lower pressure area, you would generally experience a calmer and more stagnant air environment, as air tends to move towards lower pressure regions.
