Are formed when rising air cools?
Are formed yes
What does Rising unsaturated air cools at?
Roughly 3 degrees per thousand feet
Perspiration cools the body because?
the water is using heat to undergo a phase change , the water's latent heat of vaporization is being pulled from your body
What three conditions are required for thunderstorms to form?
* Rising Unstable air * moisture * Air cools with an increasing altitude
Hot air rising from the equatorial regions cools and descends to form?
A belt of dry hi pressure air
Why is latent heat important to the atmosphere?
Latent heat is an important form of atmospheric energy. Latent heat is a property of water vapor in the atmosphere and when water vapor condenses it releases latent heat. Latent heat must be supplied to evaporate liquid water and this heat affects the behavior of the weather.
Does rising air expand or contract?
Rising air cools and compresses adiabatically.
Are formed when rising air cools?
Are formed yes
What does air do as it rises?
rising air expands then cools and condenses
How does air circulate in the atmosphere?
it circulate through this way, from man to plant to man
How does a really tall cumulonimbus cloud form?
First we need to know how cumulonimbus clouds in general form. Cumulonimbus clouds develop when the atmosphere is unstable. Generally, air temperature drops with increasing altitude, and warm air tents to rise through cold air. But, when air is made to rise it decompresses and cools. Under most conditions this air will soon become cooler than the surrounding air and sink back down. In this situation the atmosphere is said to be stable. If, however, the rising mass of air remains warmer than the surrounding air it will continue to rise on its own buoyancy and the atmosphere is said to be unstable. In the case of a cumulonimbus cloud this instability is provided by moisture. Water vapor holds a lot of energy in the form of latent heat. As a rising moist air mass cools the moisture in it condenses into clouds and rain, releasing its latent heat. The energy release dramatically slows the rate at which the rising air cools, so it remains warmer for longer. If there is enough heat and moisture, and the atmosphere is unstable enough the rising air mass will form a cumulonimbus cloud. Eventually the rising air mass will reach the same temperature as its surroundings and stop rising, forming the distinct flat top of a cumulonimbus. More latent heat and a colder upper atmosphere lead to taller cumulonimbus cloud. Since the height a cumulonimbus is an indicator of the degree of instability, the tallest thunderstorms are usually the strongest.
How are landforms formed by rising magma?
the magma cools on the surface and eventually u get land
What does Rising unsaturated air cools at?
Roughly 3 degrees per thousand feet
What side of the mountains do clouds release moisture?
Condensation occurs on the windward side of a mountain. The rising air cools so the air becomes saturated and the water vapor condenses and causes it to rain.
Why is the temperature expected to remain constant during the thermal arrest?
I think you must mean the 'latent heat of fusion' experiment where a change of state in the cooling curve of a hot liquid like naptha or Octadecanol. the liquid cools as expected until the liquid starts to solidify. The temperature drop is arrested as the crystallisation process emits latent heat. Having solidified it then cools as expected.
Perspiration cools the body because?
