Warm air is less dense than cool air, so it rises upward. As it does so, the fast moving, compressed particles in the air begin to slow down and expand, causing them to cool (since fast-moving particles create heat, and slower-moving particles are colder).
What else can I help you with?
Does cool air sink while warm air rises?
yes the cool denser air sink while the warm less dense rises
Why does cool air sink and warm air rises?
Because warm air is less dense then cool air.
Warm air rises and cool air sinks?
Convection
When air rises does it get warmer?
Warm air rises and then comes down as cool air, and the opposite is also true.
Do convection currents happen when cool air rises?
No. Convection occurs when warm air rises and cool air sinks. It is not limited to air, either, but can occur in virtually any liquid or gas.
When warm air rises and cool air sinks what current is created?
When warm air rises and cool air sinks, a convection current is created. This is due to the difference in air density caused by temperature variations. Warm air is less dense and rises, while cool air is denser and sinks, creating a circular flow of air.
Why does cool air rise?
Cool air rises because it is denser than warm air. As cool air sinks, it displaces the warmer air, causing it to rise. This movement creates convection currents, where cooler air sinks and warmer air rises, leading to a continuous cycle of air circulation.
Why does air cool when it rises though the atmosphere?
As air rises it decompresses, as pressure decreases with increasing altitude. All gasses cool when decompressed. This process is called adiabatic cooling.
What happens when you heat and cool air?
When you heat air, the air pressure rises and the particles expand.
How is Circulation of hot and cold air works?
heat rises and cool air sinks
What happens during atmospheric convections?
Warm air rises, and cool air sinks.
What is an upweling?
It is when cool air sinks into the ground and hot air rises up into the atmosphere.
