I guess it goes for all “gases” but I have a hard time wrapping my head around how gases moving rapidly have the kinetic energy to move solids and even liquids.

It is called “boundary layer effect”… on an atomic level the gas/liquid outer layer interacts with the solids outer layer and creates “drag” a it passes over resulting in motion/transfer of kenetic energy. This is what wind mills, propeller aircraft, and hyro power turbines work off of. Inversely, this is also why your car cannot go 500 MPH.
