Hot air rises and cold air moves in to replace it. So the sun heating different elements on earth (trees, bodies of water, mountains, desert, etc.) will cause uneven heat and semi-random wind formations. The higher you go in the mountains (elevation) the less resistance. There is also very little resistance over bodies of water.. so coastal areas are substantially more windy.
