Is this False or truth A SURFACE CURRENTS WARMS OR COOLS THE AIR ABOVE IT?

True. Surface currents can warm or cool the air above them, depending on the temperature of the current and the direction of the wind. Warm currents will typically warm the air above them, while cold currents will cool the air.


which two statments best describe the effects of ocean currents on weather?

Cold currents remove thermal energy from the air above and warm currents warm the air above Apex


What are currents of warm rising air?

Convection i think


There are warm air currents over the motorway why?

Because..... There are lool


Why are their warm air currents over the motorway?

Warm air currents over a motorway can be caused by the heat generated from vehicles, which warms the air above the road surface. This warm air then rises and creates a thermal air current. Additionally, the design of the motorway, with barriers and structures, can also influence the movement of air and create pockets of warm air.


What is rising warm air called?

Rising warm air is called convection. As warm air rises, it creates convection currents that circulate heat and moisture in the atmosphere.


What is the cause of the warm air currents called thermals-?

A thermal is warm air rising off the ground that has been heated by the sun.


How do ocean surface currents cause milder climates?

Ocean currents can carry warm water. As they are traveling, the warm water they are carrying warms up the air near them. The warmed air may then also warm the land around it, making the temperature of the land near the ocean currents milder.


What does warm air always do?

Warm air rises because it is less dense than cold air. This creates air currents and convection that lead to the mixing of air masses in the atmosphere.


Convection currents form when warm air rises and cold air sinks What causes the warm air to rise and the cold air to sink?

Warm air rises because it is less dense than cold air, creating an upward movement. As warm air rises, it cools down and becomes denser, then sinks back down. This cycle of warm air rising and cold air sinking creates convection currents.


Do convection currents push warm air down and cold air up?

Warm air naturally goes up/rises and cold air has to make a current where it can go until it reaches a warm current which is under the warm air.
