When cold water is mixed with hot water the hot air rises up why?

The reason for this is convection, when the temperature rises the liquid (in this case water) expands, causing it to rise above the cold water which is denser due to the lower temperature. So the hot water rises and the cold water sinks, making a convection current.

Why does cold water in a tube sink to the bottom of room temperature water?
Cold water is dense and cold water sinks, just like air, cold air falls and hot air rises.
Which is less dense cold air or cold water?
cold air because when the temperature drops hot air rises and cold air comes to ground level,cold water and hot water have the same density.
Does air and water make rain?
no, water evaporates and then rises, and then when it get's cold, it rains.
When warm air rises cold air will what?
The cold air will sink.
What is an important property of air circulation?
cold air sinks, warm air rises, and warm air can hold more water vapor than cold air can.
What are the characteristics of warm and cold air for weather?
Warm air is lighter and therefore rises. Cold air holds more water and is heavier. Cold air sinks lower than warm air.
What is the reason why air in the atmosphere continuously moves by convention?
Movement of air (and water) is all to do with temperature. Warm air (and water) rises, while cold air (and water) sinks.
When dense cold air pushes beneath warmer atmospheric air the lighter wamer air rises As this air rises into the atmospheere it cools and some of the water vapor in it codenses what?
A cloud is formed.
Hot air rises cold air sink?
technically hot air does not really rise it is the cold air that sinks below it because it is more dense.
Why does warm air rises above cold air?
i think the denser thing always sets in bottom of cold thing.and war air will settle down and cold air rises above.....
Is cold air tends to go upwards?
Heat rises not cold air.
Does hot and cold air fall or rise?
Hot air rises and cold air falls.
