How can i pass the the output of find command as sorce argument for mv
command ?

The scenario is i have to move some files which have modified 100
days before from current directory to /tmp directory.

When i execute the below command, it displayes the expected file.
find ./ -name "*_AUDIT*.Z" -mtime +100 -print

But how can i pass the output to mv command? Please help me to execute
the below uncompleted command.
find ./ -name "*_AUDIT*.Z" -mtime +100 -print | xargs mv <what should
be the source?> /tmp
