What is the formula for the change of temperature of an air mass as it passes Over a mountain and as it moves into a Leeward Valley?
The answer is 7
Which type of precipitation falls as a result of an air mass being pushed over a mountain?
It is called "orographic"
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
What is relife rainfall?
Relief precipitation is when an air mass rises to cross a mountain barrier. It is also called Orthographic Precipitation.
Which is produced when warm air mass pushes a colder air mass?
An Warm air mass
Will air at the top of the mountain contain more mass?
No , but less mass and less density .
What should a person expect to happen to the air pressure as she moves from the base of the mountain to the top of the mountain?
The air pressure will decreases as you go up the mountain. Density and air mass goes down too. Hope this helps!
When an air mass rises up a mountain sides?
It cools, and may loose its water content.
A cubic meter of air has less mass at the top or bottm of the mountain?
At the top, because the pressure there is lower.

Which type of precipitation falls as a result of an air mass being pushed over a mountain?
It is called "orographic"
As an air mass moves first upslope and then downslope over a mountain. What happens to air's moisture and heat content?
look in ch. 31 of your textbook
What is a large body of air with relatively uniform properties?
This is an air mass.
When a warm moist air mass moves toward a mountain range what happens?
The warm air cools as it is blown up the side of the mountain, causing rain. (info from prentice hall science explorer weather and climate book.)
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
If you have a high-humidity low-pressure air mass that is pushed up a mountain what will most likely happen to the wheather?
It will precipitate.
What is relife rainfall?
Relief precipitation is when an air mass rises to cross a mountain barrier. It is also called Orthographic Precipitation.
