What is warm air forced upward along?
Cold Front (:
What are areas of less dense warm air that can be forced upward?
Low pressure
How did Harry Hess discover seafloor spreading?
Harry hess' hypothesis was hot/less dense material rises up the Earth's crust toward the mid-ocean ridges. When the seafloor breaks apart, magma is forced upward and through the cracks. It cools, and becomes a new seafloor. When it moves away from the mid-ocean ridge, it becomes denser and sinks. This helps form ridges.
Along a front which type of air is always forced upward?
Warm air :d
Why Does a tornado happen when air masses interact?
The tornado is not a direct result of the interacting air masses. When a warm and cold air mass collide the warm air, being less dense, is forced upward. If the warm air mass is unstable enough, this upward forcing triggers the formation of thunderstorms. If other conditions are right, these storms may go on to produce tornadoes.
What causes the lava to be forced upward?
pressure
What type of air is always forced upward at a front?
WARM
What is warm air forced upward along?
Cold Front (:
How did harry hess hypothesis explain seafloor movement?
Harry hess' hypothesis was hot/less dense material rises up the Earth's crust toward the mid-ocean ridges. When the seafloor breaks apart, magma is forced upward and through the cracks. It cools, and becomes a new seafloor. When it moves away from the mid-ocean ridge, it becomes denser and sinks. This helps form ridges.
What are areas of less dense warm air that can be forced upward?
Low pressure
What cause a quiet eruption?
Basaltic magma is forced upward in a vent
What are the results of air being forced upward?
The results of air being forced upward is rising temperature. If air is pressurized it gets warm because the particles have to move more quickly.
What is a wrist fracture resulting from the radius and ulna being forced backward and upward is called?
dr
What kind of mountain range is formed when rock layers are sqeezed and forced upward?
fold mountain
