Why does cold gases and liquids sink?
Hot air is less dense than the surrounding air and therefore it rises. Cold air, on the other hand, is the opposite. It is more dense than surrounding air and sinks.
Is warm air less dense than cold air and moist air is more dense than dry air?
Warm air is less dense then cold air. But moist air is actually less dense than dry air because water vapor has a lower molecular weight than the oxygen and nitrogen that make up most of the atmosphere.
Can cold air effect how high a basketball can bounce?
== == This is because of air's tendency to become more dense when it is cold. This happens because air molecules,when cold, move slowly and close together while air molecules,when warm, move fast and farther apart.
How do weather fronts appear?
A weather front occurs when two currents of air with different densities converge. The rising of the less dense warm air above the denser cold air causes a mass of clouds to form. On the weather reports, they often show a cold front as a blue line and a warm front as a red line.
What creates the currents of air?
Air currents are caused by the sun's uneven heating of the earth, Water Currents (mostly known as Ocean Currents) are generated by wind, density differs in water masses causes by temperature and salinity variations,gravity, and also events such as earthquakes
Why do convection currents take place in the atmosphere?
cold air is less dense
What is less dense warm air or cold air?
Warm air is less dense (lighter) than cold air..that is why warm air rises and cold air settles
When dense cold air meets lees dense warmer air the warm air is pushed?
the warm air is pushed down because its lees dense than the cold air if cold air is more dense.
When dense cold air meets less dense warmer air the air is pushed?
When dense,cold air meets less dense,warmer air, the warm air is pushed up
When dense cold air meets less dense warm air the air is pushed?
When dense,cold air meets less dense,warmer air, the warm air is pushed up
When dense cold air meets less dense warmer air the warm is pushed?
When dense,cold air meets less dense,warmer air, the warm air is pushed up
What is more dense cold air of warm air?
Cold Air
What is a characteristic of cold air?
Cold Air is more dense than Warm Air.
What weighs more warm or cold air?
Cold air its more dense
What is heavy dense air that sinks?
cold air.
When dense cold air meets less dense warmer air the warm air is pushed?
The heavier cold air sinks and slides under the warm air and forces it upward. This causes cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds to form. This brings in the rainstorms and thunderstorms.
Why does cold gases and liquids sink?
Hot air is less dense than the surrounding air and therefore it rises. Cold air, on the other hand, is the opposite. It is more dense than surrounding air and sinks.
