Convection.
Convection is the process where a fluid (liquid or gas) moves and transports heat due to hotter fluid rising and cooler fluid sinking due to differences in density.

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
What is the definition of warm air rising?
warm air rising is called an updraft. and up draft is also a type of wind (air)
What is rising warm air called?
an updraft
What weather do you think is coming when air pressure is rising?
If air pressure is rising (called a "rising barometer") it indicates fair weather coming.
Do thunderstorms form from humid air?
Yes.Three basic ingredients are required for a thunderstorm to form: moisture, rising/unstable air, and a lifting mechanism to force this rising air higher and faster. Moisture and unstable air together is typically called humid air.

What is it called when the air temperature drops because of it rising?
Adiabatic cooling is cooling as a result of reduced air pressure(i.e. rising air)
What is the name for vertically rising or sinking air?
Rising and sinking air is called up draft and down draft, respectively.
What is the process called of warm air rising and clod air sinking?
Convection.
What is the name of spinning columns of rising air of tornadoes?
The tornado itself is a spinning column of rising air. They usually form froma large rotating column of air called a mesocyclone.

Is a high pressure system characterized by rising air or sinking air?
Rising air
What happens to air pressure when the barometer is rising?
The air pressure is rising.
What is The rising of hot air or liquid and failing of cold air or liquid called is?
The word "convection" is often used in this context.
