How will a lighter gas particle have the same kinetic energy as a heavier particle?
It can be hotter (and so be moving faster) F=ma
Can heavier gas move upwards?
Yes heavier gas can move upwards or downwards at the same time as coolgas is moving in the opposite direction. For example in a fringe. Why do you think theyy put the fruit and vegetable conatiners at the bottom of the fringe? Because hot air rises and cold air sinks. Hope this helps!!
What is the net movement of substances to regions of lower concentration called?
This process is called diffusion. If the substance moving is water, it is called osmosis.
What is it called when water is lost through the leaves of a tree?
Evaporation, the wider process of water moving through the plant and being lost through the leaves however is called transpiration.
When water molecules are moving closer together in the air it's called what?
This happens when the air cools. If the water particles get close enough to form liquid, the process is called condensation.

The process of moving weathered rock and soil?
The process of moving weathered rocks and soil is called WEATHERING.
What Wegener called the process of continents or plates moving around?
He called the process 'continental drift'.
The process of moving weathered material is called?
This is erosion
What was the process called when the continents where separated from the process called Pangaea?
The process of continents separating from Pangaea is called continental drift. This movement of the Earth's continents is driven by the motion of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface.
What is an example of the average speed of the particles in a substance?
At room temperature, atoms travel at roughly the speed of sound. Since at a given temperature, the average momentum of the molecules of different substances are the same and since momentum is mv (mass times velocity) a lighter atom or molecule is traveling faster than a heavier one. The lighter molecule has the same momentum (temperature) as the heavier molecule and so is moving faster.
What is the process of holding down the mouse button while moving the mouse then releaseing the button?
That process is called the dragging process of a mouse
The process of moving sediment from one place to another?
It is called erosion.
What is the process of holding the mouse button while moving then relasing the button called?
It is called "drag and drop" Invented by Apple Computers

What is the process of water moving through the soil called what?
This is known as percolation or groundwater recharge.
What is the process of water moving down the soil called?
This is known as percolation or groundwater recharge.
