Do clouds form when air sinks?
Clouds form when warm moist air rises, cools and condenses.
What happens right after warm air expands and rises?
Cool, moist, heavy air replaces rising hot air
What happenes as lower layers of air are warmed?
When lower levels of air are warmed they rise into upper atmospheres. As warm air rises, it causes wind. If the warm air is moist, it will cause thunderstorms and possibly even tornadoes if it rises quickly enough.
When cold air moves in and warm moist air meet what happens?
A cold front forms. The warm, moist air, which is less dense, gets forced upwards. As it rises it cools and the moisture in it condenses. This results in rain and possibly thunderstorms.
Warm air rises because of its?
the warm air rises because of its Kinetic energy !
When warm moist air rises to form thunderstorms what do you call that?
Evaporation.
What happen to the air in the surrounding as warm air rises?
it gets warmer as it rises
What happen to air in the surroundings as warm air rises?
it gets warmer as it rises
Do clouds form when air sinks?
Clouds form when warm moist air rises, cools and condenses.
Why is heavy rain associated with tropical cyclones?
When a cyclone forms, warm, moist air over the ocean rises up from the ocean surface. As this warm, moist air rises, it cools off, and the water in the air forms clouds. The cycle keeps going because air rushes in to fill the void left as the warm moist air rises. This new air also becomes warm and moist and so it rises, too. Again, the cycle continues. Warm air rises, the surrounding air swirls in to take its place, and so on. The whole system of clouds and wind spins and grows, because it is being constantly fed by the ocean's heat and water evaporating from the surface. This causes massive rain clouds to develop.
Why does warm air meeting moist air result in low pressure?
The warm air is moist due to water evaporating from the land/ocean. It is low pressure because warm air is less dense, and rises, creating an area of low pressure.
What happens right after warm air expands and rises?
Cool, moist, heavy air replaces rising hot air
What atmospheric conditions are necessary for both thunderstorms and hurricanes?
Warm, moist air that rapidly rises.
When a body of warm moist air rises to a region of dry stable air what types of clouds will form?
fog clouds
Why does the wind blow into a thunderstorm?
In a thunderstorm, warm moist air rises. Air ad the ground must then move in to replace it.
What happenes as lower layers of air are warmed?
When lower levels of air are warmed they rise into upper atmospheres. As warm air rises, it causes wind. If the warm air is moist, it will cause thunderstorms and possibly even tornadoes if it rises quickly enough.
