What cause air to rise?

Air that is warmer than the surrounding air will rise. Air that is cooler than the surrounding air will fall. Other than manmade and volcanic / fire action, the main heating mechanism of the air is the sun. Typically the sun will heat the ground and this will heat the air near it. Sunny ( daylight ) parts of the earth will have more rising air, There is no direct connection between static air pressure and air temp.
