What type of air is always forced upward at a front?

Warm air is typically forced upward at a front because it is less dense than the colder air mass. This process can lead to the formation of clouds and precipitation.


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 the results of air being forced upward?

When air is forced upward, it cools and expands due to decreasing atmospheric pressure. As it rises, it can lead to the formation of clouds, precipitation, and potentially severe weather such as thunderstorms. This process is known as adiabatic cooling and is responsible for various weather phenomena.

Mountain ridges and belts are built through the process of?

Mountain ridges and belts are built through the process of tectonic plate movement and collision. When tectonic plates collide, the crust gets pushed upward, forming mountain ranges over millions of years. This process is known as orogenesis.
