Expanding air cools. Work has to be done on the molecules for them to spread apart. A positive amount of work means the kinetic energy in the system decreases. As the air rises, the pressure decreases, causing the molecules to loose energy, which is what we perceive as the cooling of the air.

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 one process that causes clouds to form in this rising air?
Condensation
What is the process of warm air rising and cool air sinking called?
The process of warm rising and cool air sinking is called convection. Convection is the concerted, collective movement of groups or aggregates of molecules within fluids and rheids, either through advection or through diffusion or as a combination of both of them.
Cool move to take the place of warm air rising air is also know as?
Cool air moving to take the place of warm air rising is also known as Wind
The process of cool air trying to replace warm air?
A mass of cold air replacing warm air is called a 'cold front', - this usually causes rain.

What are the Causes for formation of pressure belt?
the rising and warming of cool air
What is rising warm air being replaced by cool air?
I believe this is what causes wind and air currents.
What is one process that causes clouds to form in this rising air?
Condensation

What causes wind on top of hills and mountains?
Hot air rising while cool air sinks

Are winds formed by the rising of warm air and sinking of cool air?
rising
What is cool air rising and warm air sinking?
tornado
Cool move to take the place of warm air rising air is also know as?
Cool air moving to take the place of warm air rising is also known as Wind
Does warm air and high pressure causes rising air?
Yes warm air and low pressure can cause rising air.
The process of cool air trying to replace warm air?
A mass of cold air replacing warm air is called a 'cold front', - this usually causes rain.
