When is air most likely to rise?
Well, warm air rises and cool air sinks! Your welcome! :) <3
Forms as warm material rises and cold material sinks?
a laghiki
Where cool dense water sinks does it become more dense?
In the Mediterranean Sea the cool dense water sinks under less dense water which is called density current.
What happens when warm air rises?
When warm air rises it continues to rise until it starts to cool down. Once it starts to cool down it begins to sink allowing more warm air to replace it. This is called convection.
Once heat from the Sun penetrates the Earth's atmosphere the heat is circulated as warm air rises and cold air sinks. What is this process called?
RADIATION
Warm air rises and cool air sinks?
Convection
What zone does the warm are rise and cool and the cool air sinks?
Warm air molecules are fast moving and therefore less dense than cold air molecules. Since cold air is more dense (more slowly moving) it sinks.
Is cool magma sinking and warm magma convection?
When cool magma sinks and warm magma rises, yes that is convection.
What is the process where cool dense material sinks and warm bouyant material rises?
Convection, hope this helps.
When does convection occurs?
When a warm fluid rises and a cool fluid sinks.
When is air most likely to rise?
Well, warm air rises and cool air sinks! Your welcome! :) <3
Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles creating?
Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles. Warm air expands and cool air contracts and compresses.
What happens during atmospheric convections?
Warm air rises, and cool air sinks.
When warm air rises and cool air sinks what current is created?
Convection current
How does heat cause ocean currents?
Warm water expands and rises, cool water contracts and sinks.
What is the transfer of heat when warm material rises and cold sinks?
This is called convection.
Do convection currents happen when cool air rises?
No. Convection occurs when warm air rises and cool air sinks. It is not limited to air, either, but can occur in virtually any liquid or gas.
