If the earths surface is hot what will happen to the air above it?

Since heat rises, it is logical to assume that the air would heat up as well. This is why it is always warmer and more difficult to breath in heated indoor pools but when you get closer to the ground, it gets cooler and easier to breath. The warm air and humidity went up and the cold air went down.

The weight of the air on the earths surface is?
The weight of the air on the earth is called... Air Pressure
Air weight that varies over earths surface is called?
atmosphere
Is air pressure weak or strong at earths surface?
weak and strong,it depends
Under which conditions is surface air the least stable?
When surface air is significantly warmer than the air above it
Which direction does the air currents towards the poles or away from the poles?
Away from the poles because the air near Earths surface is warm.
What is the air above the earths surface called?
The atmosphere
What happens to air pressure as you move higher above earths surface?
The air is thinner the higher you go.
Which planet s air pressure is 30 km above the earths surface?
mercury
Condensed water vapor in the air just above the earths surface?
Fog, mist.
What planets air pressure is the same as it is 30 km above earths surface?
mars
How does the Earths surface influence the flow of the air above it?
The surface slows down air movement through friction. On a larger scale, this will also reduce the Coriolis Force applied to the movement of the air.
What happens when the atmospheric pressure is greatest near the Earths surface?
Air pressure is always greater nearer the earth surface than at altitude due to the mass of air above.
What causes the pressure of the atmosphere?
Atmospheric pressure is caused by the force of the air above the earths surface. It is measured by the point in which the air meets the atmosphere.
Why is it hard to breathe in thin air?
because its hard to breathe thin air above earths surface, the higher you go its hard to breathe oxygen.
Why is high air pressure near earths surface?
Because there is more air (which has weight) above you if you are around sea level. If you fly up, or climb a mountain, there is less air above you, therefore less air pressure.
Why is air pressure greatest at the Earth's surface?
Because as you get closer to the surface of the earth, the more air that is on top of you. At the top of the atmosphere, there is no air, and everything is a vacuum, where you have no weight. When you get close to the earth, the weight of the air builds until it when you're at the very lowest point of the earths surface, all the air in the atmosphere above you is pressing down.
How does air above a cold surface?
how does air above cold surface move
