Solution

The cooling of air in the troposphere is primarily caused by rising air. As air rises, it expands due to lower pressure at higher altitudes. This expansion causes the air to cool. This is a fundamental principle of meteorology.

So, the correct answer is "rising".

The other options do not directly cause cooling of air in the troposphere.

  • Sinking air actually warms due to compression at lower altitudes.
  • Wind from the equator would be warm as the equator receives the most direct sunlight.
  • High pressure can lead to sinking air, which as mentioned, causes warming not cooling.
  • The Coriolis effect influences the direction of wind due to the Earth's rotation, but it does not directly affect temperature.
