Why is air warmer and less dense than surrounding air at the equator?
The air at the equator is warmer because it receives direct sunlight year-round, which heats it up. Warmer air is less dense than cooler air, so the warm air at the equator rises, creating a low-pressure system. This rising warm air leads to the formation of thunderstorms and rain near the equator.
Why is it that when there is a low pressure area there is warmer air?
Warmer air is less dense because the molecules have greater relative motion. Warm air rises over cooler, denser air.
Does air becomes more or less dense as you climb a mountain?
Air becomes less dense as you climb a mountain. This is because at higher altitudes, there is less atmospheric pressure pushing down on the air molecules, causing them to spread out more, making the air less dense.
Is air is warmer at seal level than at higher altitudes?
Yes, air is generally warmer at sea level than at higher altitudes because lower altitudes are closer to the Earth's surface where the ground absorbs heat and warms the air. As altitude increases, the air becomes less dense and therefore has a lower capacity to hold heat, leading to lower temperatures at higher altitudes.
What process is cool air acts as a barrier over which warmer and less dense air rises?
Frontal wedging
Why is the air warmer and less dense than surrounding air at the equator?
the air is warmer because the sun's rays hit the equater more directly and because it is warmer it becomes more dense
What makes less dense air come from the equator?
Air becomes more or less dense relative to its temperature. Cold air is denser than warm. Since the equatorial region is tropical, the air will be warmer and less dense.
What happens to the speed of sound in air if the air becomes warmer?
as air become warmer velocity of sound increases
Does warmer air push up colder air?
No, cold air pushes up warmer air because the warmer air is less dense.
Colder air holds less moisture than warmer air?
If air is holding as much moisture as it can, colder air holds less than warmer.
Water vapor rises because it is?
Vaporized water rises because it is 100 degrees Celsius or warmer and is therefore warmer than the surrounding air and warmer air always rises above colder air.
Why is warm air warmer than cold air?
Warm air is heated by the sun. Warm air expands and becomes less dense and then the cold air comes in and when the two meet rain and thunderstorms result.
When dense cold air meets less dense warmer air the air is pushed?
When dense,cold air meets less dense,warmer air, the warm air is pushed up
Why is air warmer and less dense than surrounding air at the equator?
The air at the equator is warmer because it receives direct sunlight year-round, which heats it up. Warmer air is less dense than cooler air, so the warm air at the equator rises, creating a low-pressure system. This rising warm air leads to the formation of thunderstorms and rain near the equator.
When dense cold air meets less dense warmer air the warm is pushed?
When dense,cold air meets less dense,warmer air, the warm air is pushed up
Why is the molasses going faster it is heated?
Warmer things are less dense, so as the molasses gets warmer, it becomes less dense or more "liquidy."
When air is heated it rises this is because?
When air is heated, it becomes less dense and expands. Since warmer air is less dense than cooler air, it rises above cooler, denser air. This movement of warmer air creates convection currents, where the heated air rises and the cooler air sinks.
