What happens when the air cools?
as air cools, the space it occupies becomes less. this result in an increas density
If air cools what happens to the amount of moisture that the air can hold?
It decreases. As air cools, mist, then clouds, then rain / snow forms... as the moisture is displaced.
Does andesite cool quickly or slowly?
Lava will cool quickly compared to underground magma.
Why does air cool when it rises through the atmosphere what is this type of cooling known as?
Air cools becuase when its rising through the atmosphere altitude decreases temperature, and when air rises its temperature drops at the dry abiatic rate. This type of cooling is known as adiabatic.
When cool dry air sinks from the upper atmosphere toward the Earth's surface what happens?
water vapor happens or gas flows into the air
What happens to the pressure when cool air cools?
pressure decreses
What happens to the molecules of a liquid when it is cool?
When ice cools it shrinks
What happens when the air cools?
as air cools, the space it occupies becomes less. this result in an increas density
What happens to air as it cools?
As air cools, the space it occupies becomes less. This results in an increase in density.
What happens when air rises?
It expands and cools
Does warm air heat up faster than cool air cools?
that all depends on the heat and cool air applied
How does soil heat and cool?
it will heat up by sunlight hitting it it cools by cool air hitting it
What happens to the warm air at the poles?
it cools down
Does lava cool down in the air?
No. Lava heats up the air. In turn, the air cools the lava.
When the air cools the air pressure?
particles of cool air are sloser together than particles of warm air
Air always becomes saturated when it rises and cools. true or false?
False - it always cools, but it won't cool to its dew point if the air is dry enough
What happens when a warm air mass suddenly cools?
Tornados
