What is the nae of the prossoe of warm air rising asnd cool air sinking?

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.

What do you call the pattern of air rising and sinking and blowing horizontally?

The pattern you're referring to is known as atmospheric circulation. This movement of air occurs due to variations in temperature and pressure, leading to the rising of warm air and sinking of cool air, creating wind patterns that blow horizontally.

What kind of currents are caused by saltier heavier water sinking and less salty water rising?

This process creates a type of current known as thermohaline circulation. The sinking of saltier, denser water drives a deep, slow-moving current, while the rising of less salty water leads to surface currents. Thermohaline circulation is important for distributing heat and nutrients in the ocean.
