When air rises, it experiences a drop in pressure and expands. When any gas expands, it cools. And when any gas is compressed,
it heats up. This principle is used in an internal combustion engine,
and also air conditioners and refrigerators that use compressors.

Another answer (from Kallaoma): the heated source is moving away from the heating element.
