When lower levels of air are warmed they rise into upper atmospheres. As warm air rises, it causes wind. If the warm air is moist, it will cause thunderstorms and possibly even tornadoes if it rises quickly enough.

When air and atmosphere is warmed what does air pressure do?

When air is warmed, it expands and becomes less dense, causing it to rise. As it rises, it creates lower pressure at the surface. This is because there are fewer air molecules pressing down on a given area as the warmed air moves away.


What three things happen when air is warmed?

The air molecules gain energy and move faster, causing the air to expand and become less dense. Warmed air rises due to its lower density, creating convection currents. The warm air can hold more moisture, leading to a decrease in relative humidity.


What two atmospheric layers contain air as warm as 25 degrees Celsius?

The troposphere and the lower stratosphere are the two atmospheric layers that can contain air as warm as 25 degrees Celsius. Temperatures in the troposphere decrease with altitude, but can vary depending on location and weather conditions. In the lower stratosphere, temperatures can increase with altitude due to the presence of the ozone layer.


What atmosphere in the air is warmed by heat from Earth's surface?

The lower atmosphere, known as the troposphere, is warmed by heat from Earth's surface. This warming is due to the absorption of outgoing radiation by greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, which trap heat in the atmosphere.


Why does the density of the atmosphere decrease with the height?

ice floats on top of water due to its lower density.... similarly, the gases with lower density lies in the upper atmospheric layers and the ones with larger density lie on the lower most atmospheric layers. so the overall density of air decreases with height.

Where is inhaled air moistened and warmed?

Inhaled air is warmed and moistened in the nasopharynx and oropharynx.


Why does sinking air warm and compress?

Air pressure tends to increase as air gets lower in the atmosphere simply because the lower the air is, the more air there is on top of it, and that's what causes air pressure, the weight of the air. And when air is under more pressure, it naturally gets compressed. Air also tends to be warmed by proximity to the ground because it is the ground that is warmed by sunlight. Sunlight does not warm air directly since air is transparent (at least in the visible wavelengths).


How does air is warmed?

What does the air in the troposphere do when it is warmed by the land?

warms the air


Why is air pressure different in the different layers of the atmosphere?

The different "layers" are classifications of horizontal sections of the atmosphere, volumes which exhibit different attributes. The high and low pressure regions are areas where the atmosphere is thicker or thinner.


Why is the air you breathe out warmer than the air you breathe in?

When you exhale, the air has been warmed by your body during the breathing process. As you breathe in air, it first enters your nasal cavity, where it is humidified and warmed to body temperature. This warmed air then moves to your lungs for gas exchange, and when you exhale, that warmth is transferred to the exhaled air.

What do worms do that allows water and air to gett to the lower layers of soil?

they get humus, all of the soil will die.


What passages does the air get warmed and cleaned?

Air gets warmed and cleaned as it passes through the nasal cavity, where it is humidified, filtered, and warmed by the mucus and tiny hairs called cilia. Additionally, the air is further warmed and cleaned in the trachea and bronchi by the same mechanisms of mucus and cilia before reaching the lungs.
