When warmer air rises so when a localized surface is warmer than its surroundings, the air above that surface is warmer and will also rise. This also makes clouds.

How can you explain urban areas contribute to localized convective lifting?
Urban areas contribute to localized convective lifting by producing more heat than non urban areas. Thanks for asking, ChaCha
What process produces rising air due to unequal heating of earth's surface?
The process is called convection. The Earth's surface gets heated by the sun through a process called radiation. O.K. differences in air pressure are generally caused by the unequal heating of the earth. The equator recieves more direct solar energy than other latitudes, so air at the equator is warmer and less dense that the surrounding air. Warm , less dense air rises and creates an area of low pressure.
What are the four types of atmospheric lifting mechanisms?
convergent lifting :low pressure area convectional lifting : local surface heating orgraphic lifting : physical barrier frontal lifting(cold and warm fronts) : contrasting air masses
What arrangement of material may lead to convective motion?
denser material on top of less dense material
What are localized resources?
localised resources are resources are those which are unevenly distributed among the world and are only concentrated in some areas. gold, diamonds and silver are some examples.
How can you explain urban areas contribute to localized convective lifting?
Urban areas contribute to localized convective lifting by producing more heat than non urban areas. Thanks for asking, ChaCha
What process produces rising air due to unequal heating of earth?
Localized Convective Lifting
What are three lifting mechanisms for air?
Convective, orographic, frontal lifting, and convergent.
What is convectional lifting?
Convective lifting is due to vertical instability. Convective current will form in order to transport the building heat energy at the surface upwards and to bring down cooler air aloft.
Which process produces rising air due to unequal heating of earths surface?
Frontal wedging
What processes lift air?
There are four main ways in which clouds form through condensation mechanisms involving uplift of moist air:first is Orographic lifting in which the air is forced to rise over a mountainous barrier. next is Frontal wedging where warmer, less dense air is forced over cooler, denser air. Another one is Convergence where a pileup of horizontal air flow results in upward movement. And the last one is theLocalized convective lifting where unequal surface heating causes localized pockets of air to rise because of their buoyancy.
Is a storm a convective event?
Yes it is! Thunderstorms are examples of convective events.
What is a mesoscale convective system?
A mesoscale convective system is a larger scale complex of thunderstorms.
What does The Convective Zone do?
it does
What three things cause air to rise upward?
four mechanisms that cause air to rise are orographic lifting,frontal wedging, convergence,and localized convective lifting
What are 2 most important factors for a hurricane thunderstorm or tornado to happen?
For a hurricane: warm sea surface temperatures and little to no wind shear For a thunderstorm: convective instability and a lifting mechanism to start convection For a tornado: strong thunderstorms and strong winds shear.
What is localized scleroderma?
Localized scleroderma-- Thickening of the skin from overproduction of collagen. The type known as localized scleroderma mainly affects the skin.
