tornado
Thermals, caused by hot ground heating the air close above it. Replaced by cold air sinking from above.
What else can I help you with?
How does warm air moves?
Warm air rises because it is less dense than cold air. As it rises, it cools and eventually sinks back down, creating a cycle known as convection. This movement of warm air is important in the Earth's atmosphere for weather patterns and circulation.
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".
Are tornadoes hot are cold?
Tornadoes themselves are neither hot nor cold; they are rapidly rotating columns of air. However, tornadoes can be associated with both hot and cold weather systems depending on the conditions that give rise to their formation.
Which of these storms are produced by large rising columns of warm moist air?
Thunderstorms are produced by large rising columns of warm moist air. This process leads to the formation of cumulonimbus clouds and can result in heavy rainfall, lightning, thunder, and sometimes severe weather such as hail or tornadoes.
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.
What columns of warm air that are forced up as cold air sinks called?
tornado Thermals, caused by hot ground heating the air close above it. Replaced by cold air sinking from above.
What does warm air do?
Warm air rises,and then sinks when the air is cold.
Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles creating?
Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles. Warm air expands and cool air contracts and compresses.
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 Moves cold air out and warm air in?
warm air rises cold air goes down sinks
Does a boat sink in hot warm or cold water faster?
It sinks faster in hot water than warm or cold
Why does warm air slide over cold air at worm fronts?
Warm air is lighter then cold air. So the cold air sinks and the warm air raise.
When is air likely to rise?
Warm air rises. Cold air sinks.
Why does cold air tend to flow under warm air?
Cold air is denser than warm air, so it sinks below warm air due to gravity. This sinking motion causes cold air to flow under warm air, leading to the familiar pattern of cold air near the ground and warm air above it.
What is cold air pushing warm air which then cools and sinks pushing up more warm air?
toward
Do cold dry air masses sink or rise?
cold air sinks as denser - warm air rises
What is the transfer of heat when warm material rises and cold sinks?
This process is known as convection. Warm material rises because it is less dense than cold material, creating a convection current. As the warm material rises and the cold material sinks, heat is transferred through the movement of the material.
