When air transfers energy to a cooler object what happens to air temperature?
it decreases.
What happens to volume and mass in a hot air balloon?
When the air is heated inside the balloon, it expands, causing it to be lighter than the surrounding (and presumably) cooler air. One imagines however, that as the air inside the balloon is heated, some air is forced out (due to expansion), thus resulting in a decrease in the entire apparatus' overall mass (not to mention a decrease in mass due to any fuel's having been used to heat the air in the balloon).
What happens when heated air is lighter than the surrounding air?
Lighter air will rise; it is the same phenomenon as an air bubble rising in water.
What happens to the air in the troposphere as it is heated by the sun?
The air holds more water because of large amount of evaporation.
What is movement of air from sea to land during day when cooler air from above the the water moves over the land forcing heated less dense air above to rise is called?
Land Breeze
How do you think the density of heated air compares to the density of cooler air?
The density of heated air is less than the density of cooler air.
What happens to air as a stove heats it?
The air expands as it is heated this is due to the increased activity of the molecules composing the air. It also rises as its density is reduced compared to the cooler air in the room. The pressure of the warm air remains the same as that of the cooler air.
What happens if the ground is cooler than the air?
When the ground is cooler than the air you get fog.
What forms when heated air expands and cooler air sinks below the warmer air?
Convection currents
WHere does wind start?
Wind can be caused by either pressure or temperature differences. From there you get into which is cause and which is effect. Wind starts when you have heated air rising and cooler air flowing in to take its place. As the lighter heated air rises, the cooler, heavier air will rush in to take its place. Once the heated air cools in the upper atmosphere, it then falls back.
What happens to air's volume when it is heated?
It expands.
What happens to volume when air is heated?
It expands.
What happens if the air is heated?
global warming
When air transfers energy to a cooler object what happens to the air?
it decreases.
Why is the air in a heated room usually cooler near the floor than the ceiling?
because hot air rises and cold air sinks.
When air transfers energy to a cooler object what happens to air temperature?
it decreases.
What happens to the cooler air in the balloon when warm air enters the balloon?
it sinks
