The air particles would get denser and the air would sink. If you cool it enough the water vapor in the air might freeze.

What happens to the pressure when cool air cools?

When cool air cools further, the pressure generally decreases. As air cools, its molecules lose energy and move more slowly, resulting in less collisions and a decrease in pressure.


What happens when cool air masses invade warm air masses?

When a cool air mass invades a warm air mass, it creates a boundary called a cold front. The denser cool air wedges under the warm air, forcing it to rise rapidly. This can result in the formation of thunderstorms, heavy rain, and strong winds along the front as the warm air is displaced.


What happens when a cool air mass meets and replaces a warm air mass?

When a cool air mass meets and replaces a warm air mass, it results in a cold front. The cool air pushes under the warm air, forcing the warm air to rise. This can lead to the formation of clouds, precipitation, and a drop in temperature as the warm air is displaced by the cooler air mass.


What happens when when cool damp air approaches a mountain range?

The cool damp air is forced to rise when it encounters the mountain range. As it rises, it cools and condenses, leading to the formation of clouds and precipitation on the windward side of the mountain. This process is known as orographic lift.


Does cool air fall or rise?

Yes! Warm air does rise, and cool air sinks. This happens because warm air is lighter than cold air, thus causing wind. The wind then rises from high pressure to low pressure. The wind travels East in in the Northern Hemisphere, and West in the Southern Hemisphere. For small, short lived systems, (like storms) the wind always goes from high pressure, to low pressure. Also the cold air is more dense than the light air. :) Enjoy!
