What are three factors that can change the speed and pressure of air flow?
1) Weather and precipitations 2) Altitude 3) Air Temperature
What causes the air pollution of southwest asia?
Sometimes oil spills can cause pollution.
What are the three characteristics of air?
pressure space and weight
What were catapults used for?
For flinging boulders high into the air and into walls or buildings to destroy them. It was also launched on infantry sometimes. The idea seems simple, but the mechanisms that make the machine work are very complex. People have had a hard time making Lego models of them!
What lighter than air gas was once used to power airships in cause the Hindenburg disaster?
The gas was Hydrogen.
Four mechanisms that cause air to rise on a regional are?
Orographic lifting
What things can effect air to rise?
Heat can cause air to rise :)
What three things cause air to rise upward?
four mechanisms that cause air to rise are orographic lifting,frontal wedging, convergence,and localized convective lifting
What are three lifting mechanisms for air?
Convective, orographic, frontal lifting, and convergent.
What are the three main atmospheric lifting mechanisms?
Orthographic Lifting- air is forced to rise over a mountainous area Frontal wedging- warmer, less dense air is forced over cooler, denser air Convergence- a pile-up of horizontal air flow results in upward movement
Which one of the following situations would cause air pressure to rise an increase in temperature cold air entering the region moisture entering the air?
Neither. The increase in altitude would cause air pressure to rise. :)
What situations would cause air pressure to rise?
Air pressure begins to rise in a situation where there is a change in the temperature, especially when there is cold air hitting the ground. The rise in air pressure produces winds and different types of weather.
How does lifting by heat cause air to rise?
Heat speeds up molecules, this causes the particles to rise
Type of rain when heating causes air to rise?
The type of rain that occurs when heating causes air to rise is called convective rainfall. This happens when warm air at the surface heats up and rises, cools down as it reaches higher altitudes, and eventually condenses to form raindrops.
What makes the movement of air?
Differing air temperature causing cold air to sink, and warm air to rise is the main cause of air movement.
How do you make air lighter so that it will cause a balloon to rise?
To make air lighter you would increase the heat inside the balloon, making it less dense, causing it to rise.
What does levitation mean?
Levitation is to rise or cause to rise into the air and float in apparent defiance of gravity.
