What describes complete thermal circulation from high to low pressure?

Direct thermal circulation accurately describes complete thermal circulation from high to low pressure. This process occurs when warm air, heated by the Earth's surface, rises due to its lower density. As this warm air rises, it creates a region of lower pressure. Subsequently, cooler, denser air moves in from surrounding areas of higher pressure to replace the rising warm air. This flow creates a continuous circulation pattern, which is fundamentally driven by temperature differences.

In contrast, static air conditions would imply a lack of movement, which does not describe the dynamic process of thermal circulation. Circular wind patterns could describe the overall movement of air in various wind phenomena, but they do not specifically denote the thermal aspect connected to rising warm air and descending cool air. While convection currents are a term often associated with the same physical principles, they refer more broadly to the movement of fluids (including air) driven by temperature gradients rather than focusing solely on the complete circulation system from high pressure to low pressure.
