When happens when cooler air and heated air interact?
The cool air will sink and the warm air will rise.
What is it called when lighter, warmer fluids rise to the top while denser, cooler fluids sink?
Is it called convection?
When two kinds of air are next to each other the cooler air will sink and force the warmer air to rise?
yes
Why do warm materials rise and cooler materials sink?
If materials get warmer, it expands; therefore the density (which is mass divided by volume) decreases.
What happens when convection occurs in the atmosphere?
cooler air masses sink and warmer air masses rise.
What will rise and what will sink?
a stone will sink and a feather would rise
How does convection take place in the mantle?
Convection in any fluid will occur when the lower portion is warmer than the upper portion. The less dense warm material will tend to rise while the denser cooler material will tend to sink. While the mantle is generally though of as solid, even solids can behave as viscous liquids over millions of years.
Why does cooler rock sink?
Because thing that are denser sink. Therefore, cooler rock sinks because it is denser.
How is convection current related to earth's mantle?
It allows for the cycling of magma that is cooler than the rest to sink further down under where it's warmer and the warmer magma to rise up further because it is less dense and get cooler where the cooler magma used to be.
Does heated air rise or sink?
rise
Do molecules rise or sink after they are heated?
Rise
What is the opposite of sink?
The opposite reaction of to sink (in liquid) is to float.However the opposite motion sink (move lower) would have the opposite rise.
