Convection
Storyboard 
The difference in atmospheric pressure leads to displacement of air masses both at surface level and at heights.
The vertical flow is called convection and is key to cloud formation, rain generation and effective energy flow between surface and atmosphere.

Mixing ratio of water vapor with air
Equation 
The mixing ratio of water vapor with air is defined as the ratio of the masses of each component present in a volume:
\displaystyle\frac{M_v}{M_a}=\displaystyle\frac{n_vM_{mol,v}}{n_aM_{mol,a}}=\displaystyle\frac{p_v}{p_a}\displaystyle\frac{M_{mol,v}}{M_{mol,a}}\sim 0.01
Where M_v and M_a are the masses of water vapor and air respectively, n_v and n_a are the moles of water vapor and air, M_{mol,v} and M_{mol,a} are the molar masses of water vapor and air, p_v and p_a are the relative pressures of water vapor and air, and r is the mixing ratio. Therefore, we have

In the specific case of water vapor in air, the mixing ratio is proportional to the relative pressures, which can be quantified using the vapor pressure of water p_v\sim 1500 Pa and the air pressure p_a\sim 10^5 Pa. By applying the ideal gas equation and the definition of molar mass, it can be determined that the mixing ratio is approximately 0.01. This means that the amount of water vapor compared to air is low under normal conditions.
