When the air rises does it increase or decrease?
When air rises, it expands and cools, which causes its density to decrease. Conversely, when air descends, it compresses and warms, which causes its density to increase.
Where is air density is greatest?
At the bottom of the troposphere
As the air on the surface of earth warms does its density increase or decrease?
As air on Earth's surface warms, its density decreases because the air molecules gain energy and move farther apart. This decrease in density is why warm air tends to rise, as it is less dense than the cooler air around it.
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.
Does the air increase or decrease towards the surface with a high pressure?
Air density and pressure increase nearer the surface
Why the density of air decrease with the increase in height?
Because the higher you go, the less air there is above to push down and compress the air around you.
When the air rises does it increase or decrease?
When air rises, it expands and cools, which causes its density to decrease. Conversely, when air descends, it compresses and warms, which causes its density to increase.
How does the density of air increase or decrease?
By Removing or addng heat
What effect does air density have on the absorption and radiation of energy?
An increase in air density will mean a decrease in the absorption and radiation of energy. An increase of air density causes temperature and pressure to rise.
Air density decreases with elevation increase. Is there an equation to make this calulation?
as you increase elevation (height above sea level0the density of the air decreases.
Does air become lighter as the temperature rises?
noThe density decrease when the temperature increase.
Where is air density is greatest?
At the bottom of the troposphere
Why density of air decreases with increase in height?
The density of air decreases with increasing altitude because air at high altitudes is under less pressure.
Why does density decrease with height in the atmosphere?
Density decreases with height in the atmosphere because as you go higher, there is less air above pushing down on the air below, causing it to spread out and become less dense.
What changes more rapidly with height pressure or density?
Pressure changes more rapidly with height compared to density. This is because pressure decreases exponentially with height due to the decrease in the weight of air above, while density decreases more gradually with height as a result of the decreasing number of air molecules.
Why does a submarines density decrease when it pumps air out?
It doesn't pump air out; it forces water out of its ballast tanks to increase its buoyancy.
If you squeezed a balloon and made it smaller would the density in the air would become greater?
Yes. When you squeeze the balloon, you cause the volume to decrease. Since density is determined by dividing mass by volume, a decrease in volume will cause an increase in denisty.
