As air rises, it cools adiabatically. This is the result of less pressure being applied to a parcel of air as it rises in altitude (as there is less air pressing down above it). As the air cools, its capacity to suspend water vapour decreases, and it may approach one hundred percent relative humidity, also known as dew point. Dew point is the temperature at which water vapour will condense in air at a given pressure. The condensed water vapour will form clouds, which may cause precipitation.

Do clouds form when air sinks?
Clouds form when warm moist air rises, cools and condenses.
Clouds form as moist air rises and?
cools and condenses
Objects that form as warm air rises expands and then cools?
clouds
What causes a cloud to form?
Clouds are form because humid air rises upward.
What conditions are required for cloud formation?
For clouds to form the air has to be unstable, meaning that the air at the surface is warmer than the air above. So when the air rises it hits a level called the Lifting Condensation Level. If the air rises to this point it then can start to condense on particles in the sky forming clouds.
What forms when air rises?
Clouds form.
Do clouds form when air sinks?
Clouds form when warm moist air rises, cools and condenses.
Why does descending air allow clouds to form?
Descending air not allow clouds to form because air rises at low pressures.
Why does descending air allows clouds not to form?
Descending air not allow clouds to form because air rises at low pressures.
Why do clouds form as the air rises?
As air rises it becomes decompressed, which causes it to cool. This cooling can cause water vapor to condense, forming clouds.
Air evaporates from ocean water and rises?
The water vapour rises to form clouds.
Where can clouds form?
Anywhere as long as the air rises an cools
Do clouds form when air rises and then the become saturated?
Typically, yes. As air rises it cools, which can cause moisture in it to condense.
Clouds form as moist air rises and?
cools and condenses
Objects that form as warm air rises expands and then cools?
clouds
Objects that form as warm air rises expands then cools?
CLOUDS
What forms a a result of rising air at the equator?
Clouds form as air rises at the equator.
