I believe this is what causes wind and air currents.
The result of warm air rising and cool air sinking is convection currents of air, causing wind. Even hurricanes are caused by this phenomenon.
As the air molecules heat up they move faster, spread apart and as a result the air becomes less dense. As it becomes less dense it will go upwards. Cool air will move to take the place of where the warm air was = wind! You have experienced this in the kitchen. When the stove is really hot and you open the door you will feel a blast of warm air hit you as it leaves the oven and goes upwards because it is less dense than the air in the kitchen
When warm water meets cold wind two distinct weather patterns can occur. First the water can cool the air creating a decrease in temperature. In this case the air is cooled by the evaporation of the warm water and the wind carries it away. Second the wind can act as a barrier preventing the warm water from cooling the air. The warm water is trapped by the cold wind causing a rise in temperature. In the first case warm water cools the air creating a decrease in temperature. In the second case the wind acts as a barrier trapping the warm water and causing a rise in temperature.
Warm air rises over cold air when a warm and cold front connect.
Cool air moving to take the place of warm air rising is also known as Wind

The Pacific coastal region has cool, wet winters and warm dry summers because of shifting wind patterns. As waters in the Pacific Ocean heat and cool, wind patterns change.
Air flows from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure.Related Information:Temperature is irrelevant except that temperature plays its part in creating areas of higher or lower localized atmospheric pressure.
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.
Cold wind in the region will lower the temperature of the place.
