Air can rise in one of four ways:

1) Orographic Lifting

- air travels up the side of the mtn

2) Frontal Wedging

- cold, dense air acts a wedge for warm. less dense air to rise on

3) Convergence

- two air masses come together, little difference in temp or density--> "collide", energy has to go somewhere--> air is forced upward

4) Localized Convective Lifting

- uneven heating of Earth by sun--> pockets of warm air that rise up

* As the air rises upward, it cools adiabatically until it reaches the dew point, at which point the air condenses into a cloud. Once the cloud becomes saturated with water, it rains. *

In what ways are particles in solids, liquids, and gases similar?

Particles in solids, liquids, and gases are similar in that they are all made up of atoms or molecules. They also have kinetic energy, meaning they are constantly in motion. Additionally, they can interact with each other through forces such as attraction or repulsion.
