Why the high land is colder than the low one?
Cooler air is lighter and rises to the top, while warmer air is heavier and sinks to the bottom. There is actually a cycle of heating and cooling of the air, which causes wind. Te longer the cooler air is of higher altitude, the warmer it is going to get; this is also true of the warmer air, but vise versa. The warmer air gets cooler and starts to rise while the cooler air gets warmer and starts to sink.
How does the temperature rise as you get closer to the equator?
it gets a lot warmer.. because you are closer to the sun (due to the earth's round shape)
A warmer world is least likely to result in?
A rise in sea level
Why does the air over the equator rise?
Probably because it is warmer and hence lighter.
Why does temperature rise as altitude increases in the stratosphere?
It begins to get warmer from the sun's radiation.
Does the temperature of water rise when ice is melting in it?
The ice gets warmer, but the water gets colder.
When is air most likely rise?
Air is most likely to rise after a warm front passes over an area. Air rises as it gets warmer.
Why does air around an electric heater or hot water heater rise?
It gets warmer and warm air always rises.
Is there warmer air in a convection current?
A convection current in air will have warmer air near to the heat source and this will rise. Then it gradually loses heat to the surroundings and sinks again, so there is warmer air in parts of the current and cooler air in other parts.

Why is it warmer on the top floor in your house?
Heat has a tendency to rise
As wind attempts to rise over a mountain it becomes?
Warmer

Why do gliders rise when they go over a town?
The air above a town is warmer and the glider can rise on the thermals produced.
A warmer world is least likely to result in?
A rise in sea level
Buoyant air will rise until it?
Buoyant air will rise until it reaches warmer air that is the same density as itself.
What is localized convective lifting?
When warmer air rises so when a localized surface is warmer than its surroundings, the air above that surface is warmer and will also rise. This also makes clouds.
