When cold air moves in and warm moist air meet what happens?
A cold front forms. The warm, moist air, which is less dense, gets forced upwards. As it rises it cools and the moisture in it condenses. This results in rain and possibly thunderstorms.
What happens to a moving air mass as it enters a mountainous region?
If the clouds are lower then the tops of the mountains they are caught and rain themselves out, which is why there are usually arid plains or deserts on/beside a mountain range. It is called a rain shadow.
When the moist humid air moves into an area the barometer will be?
decreasedecreasing
As an air mass moves first upslope and then downslope over a mountain. What happens to air's moisture and heat content?
look in ch. 31 of your textbook
How does orographic precipitation occur?
warm moist air is force to rise over a mountain range, as the air moves up it will expand, cools and condenses then precipitation will occur.This is clearly seen in the eastern part of South Africa
What happens to a moist air mass as it moves up in the atmosphere?
It cools and condenses
During muscle contraction the moves toward the?

What happens to the sind speed as the air pressure gets lower..why?
It increases. High pressure air always moves toward low pressure areas. When there is low pressure, the high pressure moves in, and the movement of air creates wind.
When a rock on one side of a fault moves down and rock on the other side moves up a what mountain is formed?
A Block Mountain.
What happens to air pressure as a warm front moves toward and then over an area?
As a warm front moves toward and then over an area, air pressure typically decreases. This is due to the warm air rising over the denser, cooler air ahead of the front, which leads to lower pressure at the surface.
What is warm air moves from the beach toward the ocean?
Warm air moves from a beach toward the ocean by convection.
