When cool, dry air sinks from the upper atmosphere toward Earth's surface, it is compressed and becomes warmer.
When cool, dry air sinks from the upper atmosphere towards Earth's surface, it is compressed and becomes warmer. This process results in the air losing heat through compression, which leads to a rise in temperature. As the air sinks, it becomes denser and warmer, altering its properties due to the change in pressure and temperature.
