As air becomes warmer it becomes less?
As air becomes warmer it becomes less dense (as long as the pressure remains constant)
What happens to pressure as the air rises in the troposphere?
Air pressure is simply the weight of the air above you. Air pressure falls with height because the higher you go up, the less air there is above you to weigh down on you.
How does ozone in the troposphere differ from ozone in the stratosphere?
In the troposphere, plants and animals can be harmed, but in the stratosphere, there is no life because in the troposphere is closest to earth n the air u breath is part of the troposphere. and in the stratosphere the air can affect your lungs
Is the troposphere equal in depth everywhere and why or why not?
Definitely not - it varies with temperature. The top of the troposphere is defined by (to simplify) the point where the temperature stops decreasing with height. This is going to vary depending on the temperature of the air below. The troposphere can be less than half the height at the poles as it is at the equator because cold air takes up much less space. Additionally, its height varies in the same location as the seasons change, or even as different air masses move through.
Convection occurs in the troposphere but not in the stratosphere because?
Because of the temperature in the troposphere that decreases as the altitude also lowers, convection only happens on it and not in the stratosphere. Also, because of the warm air from the land that is rising to the troposphere it becomes denser than the air above it that makes convection only happen in the said layer.
As air becomes warmer it becomes less?
As air becomes warmer it becomes less dense (as long as the pressure remains constant)
Why does the average height of contour lines on an upper level isobaric chart tend to decrease northward in the northern hemisphere?
The average height of contour lines on an upper-level isobaric chart tends to decrease northward in the northern hemisphere due to the decreasing temperature with latitude. Colder air is denser and occupies less vertical space, causing the average height of the contours to be lower. This is known as the thermal contraction of the atmosphere.
What happens to the speed of sound in air if the air becomes warmer?
as air become warmer velocity of sound increases
What is air like in the stratosphere?
The stratosphere is the second layer in the atmosphere, right above the troposphere. The air is warmer the higher you go up and cooler farther down. Commercial aircraft flies in the lower layer of the stratosphere.
Why is air warmer at the top of the stratosphere than at the top of the troposphere?
the sun's radiation warms it up.
Why is the troposphere thinner at the poles?
As air gets colder it contracts. While the total amount of air is about the same in any column of the troposphere, at the cold poles that column takes up less space, resulting in a shorter distance to the top of the troposphere.
What happens to pressure as the air rises in the troposphere?
Air pressure is simply the weight of the air above you. Air pressure falls with height because the higher you go up, the less air there is above you to weigh down on you.
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 is the highest concentration of the water vapor found in?
20 degrees C
What happens to temperature in the troposphere?
The air temperature decreases as you go higher. On the average temperature decreases about 6.5 degrees Celsius for each kilometer.
What happens when a warmer air mass pushes a cooler air mass?
it becomes a warm front
What happens when warmer air mass pushes a cooler air mass?
it becomes a warm front
