Yes. Adiabatic cooling occurs when there is a change in only pressure.

Rising air cools and compresses adiabatically.
Well, warm air rises and cool air sinks! Your welcome! :) <3
This is usually adiabatic cooling. Adiabatic refers to a process that does not exchange heat with the air around it. Air that is adiabatically cooled is cooled only because the decreasing pressure with height forces it to cool.
When warm air rises it continues to rise until it starts to cool down. Once it starts to cool down it begins to sink allowing more warm air to replace it. This is called convection.
Correct; it does so adiabatically.
Rising air cools and compresses adiabatically.
When you heat air, the air pressure rises and the particles expand.
When it rises, it gets into an area of less pressure, therefore it will expand. Since this takes energy away from the air, it will cool.
Warm air is less dense than cool air, so it rises upward. As it does so, the fast moving, compressed particles in the air begin to slow down and expand, causing them to cool (since fast-moving particles create heat, and slower-moving particles are colder).
Liquids and gasses tend to expand when heated, this lowers the density, thus warm "air" rises and cool air falls.
