Movement of Air in the Earth's Atmosphere
The atmosphere has a lot of layers such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, water vapor.
The smallest and the closest layer is the troposphere.
Dense air always falls because it is more dense and the cool surface flows the
cold air to some warm surface and the warm air will rise up because it is less dense. As warm air rises up, it creates an area of low pressure.

The sea has cool air and when that air gets closer to the sun, it gets warmer and it rises up.
The land is going to get cooler because the sea gets warmer slowly so, it will have cooler air.
Jet streams
The cold Canadian air will fall south into Texas. Jet streams that go from west to east is caused by the Earth's rotation.
High and Low Pressure
Air pressure is the weight of air pushing us. Cool air contracts and takes up less space. High air pressure has a greater density so it sinks and low air pressure has a lower density, so it rises. High pressure air is mostly clear skies and low pressure air has cloudy air.
Highs and lows
Air masses have high and low pressure, low pressure has storms. High pressure has clear skies.
