it sinks.
since the equator is in direct contact with the sun, the poles are not. the are hit by the sun at a lower angle, and since the suns energy is spread out over a larger area, so it heats the surface less. as a result, temperatures near at the poles are much lower, and cold air sinks. at the equator, the temperatures are much higher, and the warm air is steadily rising. cold air comes, but it is quickly warmed and it rises.
basically, warm air rises, cold air sinks.
the equators warm, the poles are cold.
A high pressure system is characterized by sinking air. This sinking air creates dry and stable weather conditions with clear skies and little precipitation.
it is rising think of clear skies with a high pressure rising the air up.
The global convection currents between the equator and the poles are primarily driven by the uneven heating of Earth's surface by the Sun. As the equator receives more direct sunlight, it heats up and warm air rises, creating a low-pressure area. This air then moves towards the poles at high altitudes and cools, sinking at the poles and creating high-pressure areas. This continuous cycle of warm air rising at the equator and cold air sinking at the poles drives the global convection currents.

The process you are referring to is called convection. Warm air rises because it is less dense than cool air, which causes it to displace the cooler, denser air and sink. This cycle creates a convection current that plays a key role in atmospheric circulation and weather patterns.
rising
Rising and sinking air is called up draft and down draft, respectively.
A high pressure system is characterized by sinking air. This sinking air creates dry and stable weather conditions with clear skies and little precipitation.
tornado
The vertical rising or sinking of air is known as the air current
Clouds form as air rises at the equator.
Sinking air produces clear skies and dry conditions.

Yes, that's why it sinks.
Convection.
Constant heating from the sun causes air to rise, then flow away from the equator. Sinking air in the subtropics spreads out and some of it flows toward the equator. This creates a "cell" (Hadley Cell) of circulation that constantly generates rising air at the equator and therefore low pressure.
