Why does air cool when it rises though the atmosphere?
As air rises it decompresses, as pressure decreases with increasing altitude. All gasses cool when decompressed. This process is called adiabatic cooling.
Does Mars have Air pressure?
Yes, it has an atmosphere so it has air pressure.
How does altitude in the atmosphere affect air pressure?
The greater the altitude, the lower the air pressure.
What causes the pressure of the atmosphere?
Atmospheric pressure is caused by the force of the air above the earths surface. It is measured by the point in which the air meets the atmosphere.
How do hot air balloons work in the atmosphere?
Hot air always rises, because it is less dense.
What happens to air at the center of a cyclone or center of low pressure?
What is the center of low air pressure
Why does air in the atmosphere move?
Temperature differences is why air moves in the atmosphere. Hot air rises, cold air falls. With these temperature difference comes pressure differences and these temp. and pressure differences are what keep the air moving. Theoretically, if there were no temp. or pressure differences in the atmosphere, air would not move.
What happens when you heat and cool air?
When you heat air, the air pressure rises and the particles expand.
What causes low air pressure?
thin warm air rises higher into the sky as the air rises and it cools off high in the atmosphere and condense into clouds low air pressure creates nasty and stormy weather!!your welcome
What happens to the volume or size of a balloon as it rises in the air?
The volume of the balloon will increase as it rises in the air. This is because the atmospheric pressure decreases at higher altitudes.
Why does air cool when it rises though the atmosphere?
As air rises it decompresses, as pressure decreases with increasing altitude. All gasses cool when decompressed. This process is called adiabatic cooling.
What happens when Moisture is held in a low pressure air mass?
it condenses and cools as it rises bringing precipitation
What happens with someones hearing when the air pressure rises?
hearing becomes blarry and as if one is in high altitude
What happens when trade winds converge in the intertropical convergence zone?
Air rises due to low pressure.
What is the air pressure inside a cyclone?
the air in the cyclone rises as the air rises it cools
When a barometer rises air pressure is?
increasing
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.
