Does water vapor cool or heat as it rises?

cool


Cool dense air moves during the night from the land toward water as?

Cool, dense air moves during night from the land toward water as = the answer is LAND BREEZE


What cools down lava?

Lava cools in the ocean waters. It will also cool down as it moves.


Sea and land breeze are caused because?

Land breezes occur at night. The land is cooler than the water at night, so the warm air over the water rises and the cool air moves in over the water to replace it. It then warms and rises again. This happens over and over again throughout the night. Sea breezes are the opposites of land breezes. They happen during the day, so the water is cooler than the land. The warm air over the land rises and the cold air moves in to replace it. Then, like the land breezes, the cold air gets warmed and rises and the cold air over the water takes its spot. It is a continuous cycle throughout the day. The reason land is warmer during the day is because soil heats faster than water. However, it is cooler at night because water holds its heat longer than soil.


What are cool breezes during the day caused by differences in heating and cooling rates of land or water?

Think about it this way - warm air rises. When air is over a warm surface, it will heat up and rise. Also remember this - water holds on to heat or cold longer than solids (like rock) do. Therefore, the land will heat and cool faster than the water will. So, picture this: In the morning time, everything starts to heat up because of the sun's rays. The land heats up faster. So the air over the land rises. As the air rises and rises, it begins to get cooler, until it sinks. This whole process creates a cycle of wind above the land and sea. The air drops on to the cold ocean, moves on to the land to replace the air that has risen (this causes the breeze) and then heats up and rises. The cycle continues, creating cool breezes from the ocean. The same happens at nighttime, but in reverse. The ocean is now warmer, because it is holding on to the heat from the day. The air sinks on to the cold land, and as the air over the ocean rises, the cool air on land rushes to replace it (causing a warm breeze out to sea). That air then rises and begins the cycle again.

How does heat cause ocean currents?

Warm water expands and rises, cool water contracts and sinks.


True or false if you cool steam does it turn into water?

False, steam doesn't cool as while it's hot is rises and evaporates continuing the water cycle.


Why do clouds form as the air rises?

As air rises it becomes decompressed, which causes it to cool. This cooling can cause water vapor to condense, forming clouds.


What is warm air moves from the beach toward the ocean?

Warm air moves from a beach toward the ocean by convection.

What cools down lava?

Lava cools in the ocean waters. It will also cool down as it moves.


Why does cool water move slow?

Cool water moves slow because the molecules are moving slow. In hot water, molecules are moving fast, thus, hot water seems to move faster than cold water at times.
