Wind is the product of pressure gradients established between high and low pressure systems. These systems are constantly moving and changing. This constant movement of the pressure systems is due to the Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect describes the apparent deflection (curving) of an object traveling in a straight line.
Caused by the rotation of Earth on its axis
Causes objects to curve westward (to their right Northern Hemisphere)
Greatest at the poles
Greater with fast moving objects - planes, rockets
Greater with objects traveling long distances - wind, ocean currents
Does not depend on the object's direction
