Because it's less dense. This means that the molecules are more spread out, so they rise.

What happens in cold and warm air masses?
what happens in cold and warm masses pressure
What condition that occurs in the troposphere when warm air sits on top of cold air?
air temperature
Do convection currents push warm air down and cold air up?
Warm air naturally goes up/rises and cold air has to make a current where it can go until it reaches a warm current which is under the warm air.
What forms when the warm air gets pushed ''up'' by the cold air?
it forms towering cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds
What atmospheric condition causes a cold front?
When colder air advances toward warm air. The cold air wedges under the warm air like a plow. As the warm is lifted it cools and water vapor condenses forming clouds
Why is the refrigerator cold at bottom and warm at top?
The refrigerator is cold at the bottom and warm at the top because warm air rises. Cold air is heavier than warm air and settles toward the bottom of the appliance.
What direction does warm air go?
warm air gose
How does warm air and warm water generally flow?
from the top of my penis
Why is it warm on the top floor of a mall?
The reason why the top floor of a mall is warm is that warm air is less dense than cold air and so it rises while cooler air tends to drop down.
Does air movement go warm to warm?
it cant go warm to warm that makes no sense
What happens in cold and warm air masses?
what happens in cold and warm masses pressure
A warm air mass is pushed upward because why?
Warm air is lighter than cold air. So you'll always get warm air on top of cold air when they meet.
Why is it warmer at the top of the room then the bottom?
Because warm air is lighter then cold air. So warm air will raise (to the top of the room) and cold air will stay down. When the warm air is cooling down it lowers and when cold air is heated/heating up it raise.
What condition that occurs in the troposphere when warm air sits on top of cold air?
air temperature
What is the direction of warm air and cold air?
cold air go up hot air go down.
Do convection currents push warm air down and cold air up?
Warm air naturally goes up/rises and cold air has to make a current where it can go until it reaches a warm current which is under the warm air.
When a warm and cold air meet which ends up on the top?
cold
