What else can I help you with?
Why is there high air pressure at the poles?
Because cold air is denser than warm air.
Where do windstorms happen?
Windstorms can happen anywhere in the world, but they are more common in regions where warm and cold air masses collide, such as in areas with high temperature gradients like the Midwest and Great Plains in the United States. Windstorms can also occur near coastlines or in mountainous areas.
Describe the four major types of fronts?
1) Warm front - warm air mass replacing a cold air mass at ground level. Typically shifts wind southeasterly to southwesterly. 2) Cold front - Cold air replacing warm air at ground level. Tyoically shifts southwesterly to northwesterly 3) Stationary front - Equal amount of energy between warm and cold air masses creating a "stalemate".
When warm moist air moves over a cold surface what kind of fog results?
When warm, moist air moves over a cold surface, it creates advection fog. This occurs as the warm air cools down upon contact with the cold surface, leading to condensation of water vapor and formation of fog. The result is a thick, low-lying fog that can significantly reduce visibility. Advection fog commonly forms over bodies of water or in coastal areas.
Where does the hot air and cold air come from in a tornado?
Warm anc cold air colliding are not a direct cause of tornadoes, but they can be a step in the process. where they come from depends on the region the weater system is in. But normally the warm air comes from a warm part of the ocean while the cold air comes from a cold region. In the Central United States, for example, the warm air comes from the Gulf of Mexico while the cold air comes from Canada.
Does air travel from warm to cold or from cold to warm?
Air tends to travel from regions of high pressure to low pressure, so it can move from warm areas to cold areas or vice versa depending on the pressure systems in place. Additionally, air temperature differences can create wind patterns that influence the direction of air movement.
Which are the areas of convergence of warm and cold currents?
Low pressure centers are the zones of convergence of warm and cold currents.
How does ocean temperature affect whales?
the whales need warm so they migrate from cold areas to warm areas!!!
The movement of air caused by differences in air pressure?
Wind is the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. Changes in pressure are caused by variations in temperature, elevation, and weather systems. Wind plays a crucial role in redistributing heat and moisture around the Earth.
Do tornadoes form better in warm or cold areas?
Tornadoes form better in warm areas. The reason for this is warm air holds more energy to power storms than cold air does.
Do cars have problems when moved from a warm climate to a colder one?
Not unless it is an extremely cold climate or it is an extremely high elevation. Modern computer controlled engine adjust for elevation and climate pretty well. Of course if the climate is extremely cold you would want to use a block heater.
Do bacterias live in hot and cold areas?
Most bacteria live in warm moist areas, as far as I know none live in very cold areas.
Why people in very cold areas eat a lot of fat?
Fat keeps you warm and some people depression eat in cold areas
What kind of air sinks?
Cold, denser air sinks because it is heavier than warm air. Cold air near the Earth's surface displaces warm air, causing it to rise. As cold air sinks, it can create high pressure areas and contribute to stable atmospheric conditions.
What is the weather in the eastern part of California?
depends on the elevation if its high elevation its warm in the summer and winters are great for skiing, If its a low elevation HOT HOT HOT in the summer 105-120 Fahrenheit and very warm winters from 68-75 Fahrenheit
What climate do penguins have?
penguins live in cold areas of the antarctic and warm areas of Australia and south America
What is an important property of air circulation?
An important property of air circulation is the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. This movement helps distribute heat, moisture, and air pollutants throughout the atmosphere, influencing weather patterns and climate.
