Convection current
When a warm fluid rises and a cool fluid sinks.
Warm air rises, and cool air sinks.
Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles. Warm air expands and cool air contracts and compresses.
No. Convection occurs when warm air rises and cool air sinks. It is not limited to air, either, but can occur in virtually any liquid or gas.
In the Mediterranean Sea the cool dense water sinks under less dense water which is called density current.

When a warm fluid rises and a cool fluid sinks.
It is when cool air sinks into the ground and hot air rises up into the atmosphere.

Warm air rises, and cool air sinks.
Cool air rises because it is denser than warm air. As cool air sinks, it displaces the warmer air, causing it to rise. This movement creates convection currents, where cooler air sinks and warmer air rises, leading to a continuous cycle of air circulation.

This process occurs in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere where weather events take place. As warm air rises, it cools and releases moisture, leading to cloud formation and precipitation. Conversely, cooler air near the top of the troposphere becomes denser and sinks back towards the surface in a continuous cycle known as convection.
