Cold air sinks and warm air rises. If you are in a warm room of your house and cold air starts leaking in from somewhere, you will feel the area closest to the floor getting colder first. Cold air displaces or takes the place of the hot air forcing the hotter air to rise above. If you have buzzards where you live, watch them over a field. They will circle in a column and rise higher and higher without flapping their wings. They are riding a thermal of warm air that has been heated by the sun. As the warm air rises the birds soar with it. Good proof that hot air rises is a hot air baloon. The hotter the air inside the baloon, the higher it goes.

When cold air moves toward warm air it pushes the warm air where?

What happens to a cold air when a warm air moves into a region?

When warm air moves into a region occupied by cold air, the warm air will rise above the cold air due to its lower density. This results in the cold air being displaced and pushed out of the region, a process known as warm air advection. This movement can lead to changes in temperature, pressure, and weather patterns in the region.


Does Cold air moves towards warm air?

Yes


What is the name of the front when cold air moves under warm moist air?

The front you are referring to is called a cold front. Cold air is denser than warm air, so when a mass of cold air moves underneath warm, moist air, it lifts the warm air rapidly, leading to the formation of clouds and potentially precipitation.


What Form where cold air moves toward warm air?
