Energy cannot be used up. It can only be changed from one form to another. If you cause air to expand, you may be supplying thermal energy, or else the gas will take thermal energy from its surroundings.

particles gain energy and move around more, whether solid liquid or gas. this means that the particles take up more space and the gas 'expands'

Does unsaturated air expand or compress?

Unsaturated air expands. It cools quickly and expands as it rises. As it begins to rise, its relative humidity increases.


When air is heated up what?

The individual air molecules' kinetic energy increases, thus, increasing the amount of collisions between the molecules. It expands, so it becomes less dense than the surrounding air and therefore it rises (floats) upwards.

The gravitational kinetic energy.


As a parcel of air increases in altitude its pressure will?

No, the density lowers. When air expands, the volume of area it takes up increases while the density decreases. The molecules move apart.

When happens when air is heated?

It expands, taking up more space, if there is no more space, pressure in the container increases.
