Why does cold gases and liquids sink?
Hot air is less dense than the surrounding air and therefore it rises. Cold air, on the other hand, is the opposite. It is more dense than surrounding air and sinks.
Is warm air less dense than cold air and moist air is more dense than dry air?
Warm air is less dense then cold air. But moist air is actually less dense than dry air because water vapor has a lower molecular weight than the oxygen and nitrogen that make up most of the atmosphere.
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.
What is cold dry dense horizontal air currents?
Polar easterlies!
Why is a cold front created when cold air meets warm air?
A cold front is created because of density. When air warms up, the molecules that make up the air move faster, causing them to spread out further. This makes the air less dense than the cold air, whose molecules are closer together, making it more dense. Because of this, when the two walls of air meet, the cold air cuts underneath the warm air, forcing it upwards, making it cold on the ground.
What is less dense warm air or cold air?
Warm air is less dense (lighter) than cold air..that is why warm air rises and cold air settles
When dense cold air meets lees dense warmer air the warm air is pushed?
the warm air is pushed down because its lees dense than the cold air if cold air is more dense.
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
When dense cold air meets less dense warm air the air is pushed?
When dense,cold air meets less dense,warmer air, the warm air is pushed up
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
What is more dense cold air of warm air?
Cold Air
What is a characteristic of cold air?
Cold Air is more dense than Warm Air.
What weighs more warm or cold air?
Cold air its more dense
What is heavy dense air that sinks?
cold air.
When dense cold air meets less dense warmer air the warm air is pushed?
The heavier cold air sinks and slides under the warm air and forces it upward. This causes cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds to form. This brings in the rainstorms and thunderstorms.

Does air change when is cold?
air becomes less dense
