Do clouds occur when moist air is cooled by compression or expansion?
Clouds occur when moist air is cooled. This usually a fall in barometric pressure, or expansion in our atmosphere. There are other factors at work, however, one of them is called adiabatic heating and cooling. When a volume of air is compressed, its temperature rises, and when it is decompressed, or expanded, then it cools. In the case of cloud formation, it is the drop in temperature by adiabatic cooling, and the content of moisture in the air, that make the difference in how clouds are formed.
Wind is the result of?
Strong winds are cause by unevenly balanced baromic air pressure along with being caused by heating and cooling of the earth;s air unevenly.
Where does warm air go after moving over a cold mass?
It is lifted up over the colder air, which results in expansion (a pressure drop), and therefore cooling, and in many cases the air cools to saturation and clouds/precipitation result. Eventually these processes and the air's movement causes it to dissipate into air of similar character.
Is an Expansion and contraction with regard to weathering are caused by rusting?
False A+
What type of physical weathering is caused by the expansion of?
Frost wedging
What is one way that air is lifted causing expansion and cooling?
Convection
What is the common condition that is caused by the thermal expansion and cooling of computer components called?
It is generally called "Chip Creep".
What does an exhaust system expansion box do?
An exhaust system expansion box allows for the cooling of extremely hot air. The hot exhaust is cool in the expansion box before exiting the tailpipe.
What caused the climate of the badlands to change?
climate cooling and drier air
How you bleed air out of cooling system?
You don't need to, as the coolant circulates, any trapped air will eventually make its way to the expansion tank and out of the system.
What evidence do you have towards global cooling?
None. There was a slight cooling around the middle of the 20th Century caused by the amount of pollution particles in the air. These were reflecting the sun's rays. When Clean Air Acts began to take effect around the world the air became cleaner and the cooling disappeared.
Why does your 1998 Sebring blow cold air while idling and hot air while moving?
This is often caused by air being trapped in the cooling system. Get a qualified mechanic to drain, flush and refill the radiator/cooling system.

Who is the inventor of the modern refrigerator?
carl von linde John Gorrie. His basic principle is often used in refrigeration today such as cooling caused by the rapid expansion of gases.
Air expansion and contraction?
expansion is when the air is HOT !
Do thunder resultes from the explansion of air along the lightning strike?
Yes, the tremendous heat caused by the Electrical Discharge, and the Ionization of the Air result in the explosive expansion of the surrounding air.
The sound caused by the rapid expansion of air along an electrical strike?
Thunder
