Rising and sinking air is called up draft and down draft, respectively.
Sinking air produces clear skies and dry conditions.
The cycle that develops during air rising is called the convection cycle. It involves warm air rising, cooling and condensing to form clouds, followed by precipitation and then the sinking of cool air to complete the cycle.
In areas of high pressure, air is generally sinking rather than rising. High-pressure systems are characterized by descending air, which leads to clearer skies and stable weather conditions. This sinking motion suppresses cloud formation and precipitation. In contrast, rising air is typically associated with low-pressure systems, where clouds and storms can develop.
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.
It's known as a convection current not a conduction current :)
rising
A high pressure system is characterized by sinking air. This sinking air creates dry and stable weather conditions with clear skies and little precipitation.

The vertical rising or sinking of air is known as the air current

it is rising think of clear skies with a high pressure rising the air up.
Yes, that's why it sinks.
Convection.
Adiabatic
In areas of high pressure, air is generally sinking rather than rising. High-pressure systems are characterized by descending air, which leads to clearer skies and stable weather conditions. This sinking motion suppresses cloud formation and precipitation. In contrast, rising air is typically associated with low-pressure systems, where clouds and storms can develop.
The name given to the upward and downward movement of air in the atmosphere is convection. This movement is driven by temperature and pressure differences, with warm air rising and cool air sinking.
