Yes. (As the density falls, it expands.)

When air rises does it get warmer?
Warm air rises and then comes down as cool air, and the opposite is also true.
What happens when warm air rises?
When warm air rises it continues to rise until it starts to cool down. Once it starts to cool down it begins to sink allowing more warm air to replace it. This is called convection.
Why is a city park that's covered with grass cool?
Cool air goes towards the ground while heat air rises... ice chills go down, fire's smoke and heat rises
Why are trade winds cool?
Trade winds are cool because they result from hot air rising up. As the hot air rises up, cool air comes down to take its place.
Does cool air rise?
Warm air is less dense than cool air, so it rises upward. As it does so, the fast moving, compressed particles in the air begin to slow down and expand, causing them to cool (since fast-moving particles create heat, and slower-moving particles are colder).
Is a hot air balloon an example of convection?
Yes, It is because in a hot air balloon the hot air rises and the cool air falls down.
Does cool air sink while warm air rises?
yes the cool denser air sink while the warm less dense rises

Why does cool air sink and warm air rises?
Because warm air is less dense then cool air.
Warm air rises and cool air sinks?
Convection
What would happen if warm air did not cool down as it rises?
It would no longer rain and we would all be in trouble.
Do convection currents happen when cool air rises?
No. Convection occurs when warm air rises and cool air sinks. It is not limited to air, either, but can occur in virtually any liquid or gas.
