The sun warms the surface of the earth. This heat moves up into the atmosphere where it is absorbed by the greenhouse gases which warm up. This is how the air is warm.
The warmth of the air also depends on how far from the equator you are. For example if you live in Greenland the air is generally cooler, and if you live in Hawaii or Brazil the air is generally warmer.
What else can I help you with?
Which is a calm area on Earths surface where warm air rises?
The equator is a calm area on Earth's surface where warm air rises due to the intense solar radiation it receives. This warm air creates low pressure and leads to the formation of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), a region of converging winds and often thunderstorms.
Which is the part of a convection cycle in earths atmosphere?
The part of the convection cycle in Earth's atmosphere is when warm air rises due to being less dense than cool air, creating upward air currents. As the warm air rises, it cools and eventually sinks back down, completing the cycle. This movement of air helps distribute heat and moisture around the planet.
What is less dense warm air or cold air?
Warm air is less dense (lighter) than cold air..that is why warm air rises and cold air settles
When cold air moves toward warm air it pushes the warm air where?
When cold air moves toward warm air, it pushes the warm air upward because cold air is denser and therefore heavier than warm air. This creates a lifting mechanism known as cold air advection, which can lead to the formation of clouds and precipitation.
Does cool air follow warm air or warm air follow cool air?
Cool air typically follows warm air. Warm air rises and creates an area of low pressure, which is then filled by cooler air moving in to replace it. This movement of air is known as convection.
What air mass classified as marine tropical is formed over earths surface?
Warm land
Which of the following is calm area on earths surface where warm air rises?
The Horse Latitudes are the calm areas on Earth's surface where warm air rises at the equator. The warm air also divides and flows both north and south.
What is it called when warm air and cold air mesh together and because of our earths tilt it goes into a spinning motion?
A tornado. **Your Welcome!**
Which direction does the air currents towards the poles or away from the poles?
Away from the poles because the air near Earths surface is warm.
What is the name for the effect that is produced when warm air near earths surface bends light rays?
greenhouse effect
What causes two distinct pressure zone between the equator andthe poles?
The equators warm air, and the polar cold air.
How uneven heating of earths surface results in convection currents.?
Where the air is over a parts of the Earth's Surface that is warm, the air warms. Warm air rises and as it rises it is replaced by cooler air that is sucked in from parts of the Earth's surface which are comparatively cooler. This movement causes a cyclic circulation of the air called win and weather.
Where is earth air the thinnest?
the earths thinnist air is Uganda
Why are warm currents warm and cold currents cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
Which is a calm area on Earths surface where warm air rises?
The equator is a calm area on Earth's surface where warm air rises due to the intense solar radiation it receives. This warm air creates low pressure and leads to the formation of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), a region of converging winds and often thunderstorms.
What is the name for the effect that is produced when warm air near earth earths surface bends light rays?
greenhouse effect
When warm air meets cool air does the warm air sink?
The cold air pushes under the warm air.
