When the lift (from the wings) exceeds the weight of the plane it rises, and vice versa.

The lift comes from the air flowing around the wings,

and varies with the speed of the plane (through the air) and the angle of the wings.

Why does the temperature change when you go up an mountain?

The temperature changes as you go up a mountain due to the reduction in atmospheric pressure with increasing altitude. This drop in pressure causes the air to expand and cool, resulting in colder temperatures at higher elevations.


Where is the vertical plane in earth?

A vertical plane is any plane where the normal (a line at 90 degrees to the plane) is horizontal. All your walls are vertical planes. The normal to the plane of the Earth's orbit is often used to define "up" and "down" for planet Earth. The Earth's axis is tilted at about 23.5 degrees away from this "vertical" line. Also you could define "vertical" as simply the direction shown by a plumb line. That's the definition which has walls as vertical planes. With either definition there will be more than one plane that is a vertical plane.


Fault movement begins deep within the Earth at a point called the .?

Fault movement begins deep within the Earth at a point called the fault plane. This is the surface within the Earth where rocks on either side have moved relative to each other. The movement along the fault plane is what causes earthquakes.


What is up dip direction?

"Up dip" direction refers to the direction in which rock layers incline or tilt relative to the horizontal plane. It indicates the direction where the rocks are sloping towards when looking perpendicular to the strike of the rock layers. This term is commonly used in geology to describe the orientation of rock strata.


When shearing acts on rocks what happens?

Depends on the pressure, temperature and rate of shear. See mechanisms this page to view responses different conditions.

Why does the landing gears have to go up when the plane is flying?

Because if they don't bring them up it causes turbulence for the aircraft and reduces the aerodynamics of the aircraft.

What causes airplanes to take off?

Lift is what ultimatly causes the plane to take off. When a plane get up to take off speed, that means the wings are generating enough lift to lift the plane up. The pilot will change the planes angle of attack with the elevators (located on the horizontal stabilizers) to the wind which forces engine thrust to push the plane into the air.

What does the planes tail of the plane do?

It helps the plane balance. And on the planes tail it has two flaps on each side, and when these flaps go up it lifts the tail and the plane goes down, and when the flaps go down then then plane goes up.
