The result of warm air rising and cool air sinking is convection currents of air, causing wind. Even hurricanes are caused by this phenomenon.

When happens when cooler air and heated air interact?
The cool air will sink and the warm air will rise.
What will rise and what will sink?
a stone will sink and a feather would rise
What makes the tendency for warm air to raise and cool air to sink?
Warm air is less dense than cold air... therefore colder air sinks, while warm air rises.
Why does cool rock materials sink when convection takes place in the mantle?
Cool things always sink (because they are more dense) and hot things always rise (because they are less dense) in convection. It does not matter if it is rock, air, water, metal, wax, oil, etc., convection always works the same.
Does cool air sink while warm air rises?
yes the cool denser air sink while the warm less dense rises
The tendency for warm air to rise and cool air to sink results in?
global wind patternsglobal wind patterns
The tendency for warm air to rise and cool air to sink results in what?
The tendency for warm air to rise and cool air to sink results in convection currents. As warm air rises, it cools and then sinks back down in a continuous loop, creating circulation patterns in the atmosphere. This process helps distribute heat and moisture around the Earth.
How does temperature affect air movement?
the hot air will rise and the cool air will sink
When happens when cooler air and heated air interact?
The cool air will sink and the warm air will rise.
What will rise and what will sink?
a stone will sink and a feather would rise
Why does happen in the atmosphere?
For the same reason that it happens in other fluids. The hot air (in this case) has a tendency to rise, and colder air, to sink, due to differences in density.

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.
What are some Lava lamp questions for science projects?
why does the lava sink or rise?
What effect does cool temperature have on air?
Cool air is denser than warm air, making it less likely to rise. It also cannot hold as much moisture as warm air.
