What is the difference between evaporation and boiling? Answer on your own
Evaporation occurs at any temperature and only at the liquid's surface, while boiling happens at the boiling point and throughout the liquid.

Why does warm air rise and cool air sink?
Warm air rises due to its lower density from faster-moving and expanding molecules, making it more buoyant. While cooler air is more dense so it sinks.
