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 generally happens to the temperature of sinking air?
It tends to decrease as it mixes with cooler air underneath. (Meanwhile it warms up the cooler air it blends into).
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 happens to the air temperature of a descending air mass?
Generally, the air temperature of a descending air mass will increase. This is due to the incredible mount of pressure placed on it. Generally, the air mass will also experience an increase in humidity.
Do currents of cold sinking air produce regions of higher pressure or lower pressure at the earths surface?
Sinking air would add air to the surface, raising the pressure.
Is a high pressure system characterized by rising air or sinking air?
Rising air
What generally happens to the temperature of sinking air?
It tends to decrease as it mixes with cooler air underneath. (Meanwhile it warms up the cooler air it blends into).
Changes in temperature that result from the cooling of rising air or the warming of sinking air are?
Adiabatic
What happens with air pressure when the air is cold?
The air pressure is high when the air is cold, and it's sinking.
If air rises what happens to it's temperature?
The temperature of air is decreased.
What happens to the temperature of the air as it rises for frontal?
The temperature of air is decreased.
What describes what happens at the poles?
Cold air is sinking and flowing back toward the equator.
Does temperature affect floatation?
Yes. Temperature affects the density of a fluid or gas. Flotation (or sinking) is determined by which substance is less dense. A hot air balloon of a given temperature will rise quicker in colder air and not at all in hotter air.
What happens to the temperature of the air when a solar eclipse happens?
It drops.
When air transfers energy to a cooler object what happens to air temperature?
it decreases.
When a volume of air is compressed what happens to its temperature?
Obviously the temperature of air will increase. Because when you compress the air you are doing some work on the air which in turn is converted into heat and thus increase the temperature of compressed air
What happens when the air conditioner unit stops working?
The room air temperature increases.
When the air transfers energy to a cooler object what happens to the air temperature?
It goes down.
