gas bubbles increase in size as they rise, due to the pressure of the water around them being less and less the higher they are... think about when you're in a pool and you dive really deep down to the bottom and your ears pop... they only pop when you get very deep down, because the pressure level is higher down so far, therefore the less pressure surrounding the bubbles as they rise means the gas making up the bubble isn't as compressed meaning the area that the gas fills is greater... thus making the bubble bigger

∙ 13y agoBecause as the bubble travels up the pressure of the water surrounding it reduces so the air inside the bubble is allowed to expand more and hence the visible increase in size
Wiki User
∙ 16y agoBecause they are lighter then the other gases around them.
Wiki User
∙ 16y agoBecause air is lighter than liquid and rises up.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoGases rise because their density is lesser then air and so they weigh lesser than air....
just like oil in water....oil floats above water...making a layer..

Will methane gas rise when released in the air?
Methane gas settles down because methane gas is heavier than and is carried by the upward displacement of air. ---------------------------------------------- The density of methane is 0,717 g/L and the density of air is 1,2 g/L at 0 0C; consequently methane gas raise in the air.
Why do vapor bubbles rise to surface when a liquid is boiling?
Since the bubbles have less density than the surrounding water, gravity pulls the water down, and the bubbles go up.
Do big bubbles fall faster than small bubbles?
big bubbles can pop pretty fast but small bubbles can't pop faster. by. Adam 8) I like bubbles. :P
What is the purpose of anti bump granules in simple distillation?
The anti-bumbing granules provide many places where bubbles of gas may form as the water boils . The bubbles are small and rise steadily to the surface of the liquid where they burst. Without the granules, fewer but larger bubbles form . they rise and burst with such force that they shake the test tubes which can be very hazardous.
How should you show that yeast was responsible for making the dough rise?
Little carbon dioxide bubbles.
Does methane bubbles rise?
yes. Because methane is lighter than any liquid, bubbles of methane will always rise in solution.
What goes on in the Bermuda Triangle?
methane bubbles. plants that die produce methane bubbles which cause bad things to happen
Which hydrocarbon produced by archaea bubbles up into ocean water from marine sediments?
Methane
When warm air rises what bubbles rise in the air?
Carbon Dioxide CO2 is the bubbles that rise in the air.
How do bubbles of gas rise in a lemonade?
Carbon dioxide makes up the air bubbles, and carbon dioxide is lighter than lemonade, so the bubbles rise to the top.
When heated bubbles rise to surface?
bubbles rise to the surface of a heated liquid as it changes to gas because they are less dense than the liquid.
Will methane gas rise when released in the air?
Methane gas settles down because methane gas is heavier than and is carried by the upward displacement of air. ---------------------------------------------- The density of methane is 0,717 g/L and the density of air is 1,2 g/L at 0 0C; consequently methane gas raise in the air.
Why small bubble rises slowly?
Small bubbles rise slowly because they have less gas inside them, compared to larger bubbles. The more gas, the faster they rise.
Why do bubbles rising to the surface of the ocean expand?
The deeper the bubbles are in the ocean, the greater the pressure is. As they rise to the surface, the pressure decreases, allowing the bubbles to expand.
In Club Penguin where do the bubbles rise?
Down by the speed boat.
What are the bubbles that appear and rise to the surface during boiling?
air
Why do bubbles rise to the surface of the water?
Because there are cells in in water and everything with water bubbles rise because the cells vibrate whch cause bubbling with Bubbles as in the ones u buy or detergent they have gas in them and gas floats everywhere we breath gas
