Cold air is more dense than warm air, and we know that more dense things sink and less dense things float. It does not matter how the co2 got hot it loses it heat to what ever is around it. Heat goes up and the hotter it gets the fast the heat rises and that is why global warming is a lie.

∙ 14y agowell... yes and no, yes cold air moves and no it does not move downwards, it rushes in to replace rising hot air, generating wind. And all of this movement gets its energy from gravity. Cold air is more dense than hot air, so the hot air is displaced by the more dense air that sinks under the influence of gravity. Think of cold air as a liquid ....it is heavier than hot air therfore it will always fill the lower void hot air leaves as it rises.......If you open an Air-Conditioned homes front door for a minute ,a very large percentage will just spill out......further proof will be the air conditioners compressor coming back on to fill the void soon after .......... Without influance of making it hotter or colder the two air masses will try to find an equal balance

∙ 11y agoOne example of hot air rising while cool are falls is a hot air balloon. When air molecules are heated they begin to move faster and farther apart. they become less dense then the surrounding air allowing It to rise.

∙ 13y agoWell, you answered your own question, there. As nothing can rise down, warm air rises. Period. You knew that already :)
(In case you didn't get it, it's up. Warm air rises...up [that's really redundant]).

∙ 14y agoI think it is because the particles are spread apart more in warm air, so it is lighter and the particles in cold are are more tightly packed and therefore the cold air sinks.

When the air get warmer the air pressure drops?
If you mean why does the air get warmer as the air pressure drops then that is an easily answered question. first we must look at what air pressure is, air pressure is the weight of air pushing down on the earth and when it goes down, the air must therefore be exerting less pressure on the earth and hence the air rises (vice versa for air pressure rise, the air is sinking and therefore exerting more pressure on the Earth's surface) The air gets warmer as it rises as in a depression or anticyclone in the mid-latitudinal zone the air rises and is warmed by the tropical air mass, whether that air mass be tropical maritime or tropical continental, these air masses come from the southern hemisphere and the tropics, meaning the air in it is warm and so as air rises it is heated by this air mass. hope this has helped.
What is the depletion mean?
Depletion is when something goes down. For example: Let's say you had many people and a large amount of food. Over time that food will start to deplete (go down), until there is nothing left.
Is the statistical low temperature record for a day the early morning hours of that day?
In most cases, the low temperatures of the day will occur in the early morning just before the sun rises, however; this does NOT mean all low temperatures are recorded during this timeperiod. Here is a good example: At 4:30 AM the temp in Palm BayFloridawas 82F ahead of a cold front. Later that day, at around 10:00 AM the strong cold front passed through, and by 12:00 the temp was down to 69F. Assuming 69F was the lowest temperature reached after the passage of the cold front that day, the low temperature was recorded mid day!

The rain came down in full cold buckets?
I have no idea what you mean, but I assume this is an excerpt from a text, so here goes. The rain came down in full cold buckets is a metaphor, which means that ‘the rain’ is very cold (‘cold’) and very heavy (‘full … buckets’), so they are saying that the rain is cold and there is lots of rain. i hope this answers your question. if it dosen’t, then please give more details and I will try to help
What is heavier a warm front or a cold front?
It depends on if you mean heavy rain or light rain. If you mean heavy rain then when a cold air mass rises over a warm air mas. If you mean light rain then when a warm air mass rises over a warm air mass.
What does it mean when you shiver for an hour?

What does it goes to show mean?
