They gain height by flying over large ploughed fields because the large ploughed area gives heat and the glider takes advantage of this to gain altitude

Why can glider pilots gain height by flying over a large plowed field?
Glider pilots gain altitude by circling over a large plowed field because a plowed area gives off heat. Heat rises so the glider takes advantage of that to gain altitude.
How do glider pilots gain height over larged ploughed fields?
By circling in rising air called Thermals. This air rises because it has been warmed by contact with the sunlit ground and warm air is lighter than cold air so it is bouyant. Thermals tend to be shaped somewhere between a column and a bubble, rather like the stuff in those 1970's lava lamps. Check this for more info: http://www.gliding.co.uk/whatisgliding/soaring.htm
