Cool sinking air near Earth’s surface replaces warm, rising air could be an example of several meteorological processes.

Cool sinking air near Earth’s surface replaces warm, rising air is an example of CONVECTION.

Cool sinking air near Earth’s surface replaces warm, rising air is an example of DIRECT THERMAL CIRCULATION.

Cool sinking air near Earth’s surface replaces warm, rising air is an example of DINES COMPENSATION PRINCIPLE.

Cool sinking air near Earth’s surface replaces warm, rising air is an example of SUBSIDENCE.

Convection

When the air sinks, it is called, a subsidence.

When the air flow parallel to the surface, it is called, an advection.

And when the air gathers and rises, it is called, a convection.

Wind flow
