The effect is due to light bending differently from 1 spot to the next & over time, due to varying index of refraction, due to varying air density, due to uneven heating (air becomes less dense the more it heats up), due to air movement & varying heat dissipating properties of different surfaces (i.e. asphalt vs. grass).

How does convection cause summer thunderstorms?
this is because of the rising air pressure within the jongo
When it is cloudy is air sinking or rising?
rising
Does warm air and high pressure causes rising air?
Yes warm air and low pressure can cause rising air.
What is it called when the air temperature drops because of it rising?
Adiabatic cooling is cooling as a result of reduced air pressure(i.e. rising air)
Does stable air tend to rise or does it resist rising?
It resists rising.
Hot air rising from the pavement on a hot summer day is an example of?
Thermal insaltion
What kind of rising air tends to occur over places that take in plenty of sunlight like sand or pavement?
Warm air rising through convection.
What is an example of cold air rising and heat rising?
Cold air does not rise, your question makes no sense.
How does convection cause summer thunderstorms?
this is because of the rising air pressure within the jongo
What an example of a convection current?
warm air rising to the ceiling
Can you give me a example of rising and falling?
An example of rising could be a hot air balloon ascending into the sky. An example of falling could be a leaf drifting down from a tree in autumn.
When the sun starts to go down on a hot summer day the air is cool but the sidewalk is warm. why does this happen?
because the pavement traps heat and releases it slowly
What part of speech is shimmering?
"shimmering " is either a present active participle or a gerund. As a particple: The shimmering waves sparkled in the moonlight. As a gerund: Shimmering can be produced by hot air rising from the pavement.
Does hot air rise?
Yes. Hot air is less dense, and therefore lighter than cold air, so it will rise as cold air will drop. A perfect example of this, is smoking rising to the ceiling in a fire, or smoke rising out of your chimney.
What causes air pollution to decrease?
We cannot decrease air pollution, but there are many ways of decreasing the level that it is rising in, for example, recycling.
An example of convection?
Hot Air Rising And Cooler Air Falling Is One Example Of Convection Which That Example Is Called Convection Currents. Example Two An old-fashioned radiator creates a convection cell in a room by emitting warm air at the top and drawing in cool air at the bottom.
Is a high pressure system characterized by rising air or sinking air?
Rising air
