It depends on several things, but usually it's forced upwards. As it rises, the air gets colder. As it gets colder the moisture in the air condenses, first into clouds, then possibly into rain or snow.

What happens when wet warm water air is pushed up the side of the mountain?
The water vapor melts and it goes into the mountain
What happens to the temperature of the air as it flows up over the mountains?
Wind is blowing air up over the mountain. Going from about 1,000 feet at the base to 7,000 feet at the top, the temperature changes as the air goes over the mountain.
What will happen if a high humidity air mass located over an ocean moves inland an up a mountain slope and why?
it will rain
How does mountain lifting cause air to rise?
As A rule the air is moveing in one direction, even though it will change direction momentarilly, All this air is going to travel in A fairly uniform direction, When it hits A mountain The air that is lower to the valley will continue to travel along its path and the mountain will cause it to rise up the side of the mountain, This air will compress the air that is already traveling in the upper levels, pushing the upper air MORE upward, as the air gets toward the top of the mountain, there is so much air trying to pass the mountain that the air will increasingly go upward in A more vertical direction. Is that confusing? I hope someone can make it easier to understand,. The jist is, More air, less room.
What happens to air when it reaches the highest point of a mountain?
While on the earths surface where there's overheating air tends to expand due to high temperature,becomes lighter and therefore rises because the pressure on each molecule is low.But as it ascends the temperature drops at a rate of 6.5 degrees celsius per km.This is reffered to as the "Lapse rate". At the "Peak" or highest point of a mountain,the air has lost much heat because the higher it goes the cooller it becomes.The air becomes cold,dense,and heavier with a high pressure.In casses like this the air may condense to form rainfall and if it condenses below 0 degree it forms snow.
What happens to air when you climb a high mountain?
Air evaporates
What happens warm air hits the side of a mountain?
It gets cool beacause the air is thinner and cant hold as much heat.
Why is air pressure on a high mountain is less than on the lowland?
air pressure on the high mountain is because air flow is fast or velocity of air is more on the high mountain
What happens to air pressure as you move from the base of a mountain to the of a mountain?
it decreases
What happens to air pressure as you move from the base of a mountain to the top of a mountain?
is decreases
What is as high as a mountain but low as the sea?
air.
What happens when moist air pushes a mountain?
Orographic effect
What happens to air as you climb a mountain?
as the altitude increases density of air decreases.This makes it harder to breath.
What happens to air pressure as you go up a mountain?
The air pressure slowly decreases as you rise in altitude.
What is the difference between the air at the bottom of a mountain then the air at the top of a mountain?
From what I recall, the air at the bottom of a mountain is usually warmer, wetter, and more oxygenated. The air at the top gets less of these three depending on as high up as you go.
What happens to the temperature of the air as it flows up over the mountain?
Wind is blowing air up over the mountain. Going from about 1,000 feet at the base to 7,000 feet at the top, the temperature changes as the air goes over the mountain.
What happens when wet warm water air is pushed up the side of the mountain?
