What is wind formed as cold sinking air moves from the poles to 60 degrees north to 60 degrees south latitude?
polar easterlies
What is the name for vertically rising or sinking air?
Rising and sinking air is called up draft and down draft, respectively.

What plays an important role in the formation of thunderstorms?
Rising warm air and sinking cold air .

Well, if the air is sinking then the temperature is dropping since hot air rises. When cool air comes down, if it comes down too fast, the hot air and cold air "clash" and that's what causes fog.
What are columns of warm air that are forced up as cold sinks are?
tornado Thermals, caused by hot ground heating the air close above it. Replaced by cold air sinking from above.

What are the type of air movements that form winds and that forms clouds?
the unequal heating of the earth's surface causes wind (warm air rising and cold air sinking), and evaporation creates clouds.
What is the nae of the prossoe of warm air rising asnd cool air sinking?
The process of warm air rising and cool air sinking is called convection current The process of warm air rising and cool air sinking is called convection current
