Why does cool air sink and warm air rises?

Because warm air is less dense then cool air.


When warm air rises cold air will what?

When happens when cooler air and heated air interact?

The cool air will sink and the warm air will rise.


The tendency for warm air to rise and cool air to sink results in?

the formation of convection currents. As warm air rises, it cools and loses its buoyancy, eventually sinking back down. This process creates a continuous cycle of warm air rising and cool air sinking, which helps distribute heat and moisture in the atmosphere.


Do cold dry air masses sink or rise?

cold air sinks as denser - warm air rises


Why do warm air masses rise and cold air masses sink?

Density. You can figure out the details using the ideal gas law.


The tendency for warm air to rise and cool air to sink results in what?

The tendency for warm air to rise and cool air to sink results in convection currents. As warm air rises, it cools and then sinks back down in a continuous loop, creating circulation patterns in the atmosphere. This process helps distribute heat and moisture around the Earth.


What makes the movement of air?

Differing air temperature causing cold air to sink, and warm air to rise is the main cause of air movement.


What is the result in the tendency for warm air to rise and cool air to sink?

The result of warm air rising and cool air sinking is convection currents of air, causing wind. Even hurricanes are caused by this phenomenon.


Why doesn't a warm air mass under a cold air mass at a warm front?

A warm air mass rises over a cold air mass at a warm front because warm air is less dense than cold air. This results in the warm air mass being forced to rise and cool, leading to the formation of clouds and precipitation at the boundary of the two air masses.
