A parcel of air is uplifted when it initially gains heat from the surface causing convective uplift.When the air is warmed by the surface it will expand and become less dense relative to air that surrounds it. - See more at: http://www.chacha.com/question/can-you-briefly-describe-how-convective-uplift-occurs#sthash.JinBHwPh.dpuf

What occurs in mercury of a thermometer convection or conduction?
convection
Why is convection?
convection occurs in fluids such as water and air
What type of heat transfer that occurs when hot water rises to the top of a pan and cooler water sinks to the bottom?
I believe the answer is convection
What types of matter does convection occur?
Convection occurs mainly in the gaseous state, where heat is transferred through currents in air. Convection can also occur in liquids, however it is generally identified with gases.gas and liquid
What does the science term uplift mean?
Uplift is the process in which structural highs in Earth's crust are created (e.g. mountains). The movement of tectonic plates and igneous plumes are two processes which may result in uplift. And when it does not deal with science, it means to lift something.
What are the causes of uplift in the atmosphere?
Convection (rising air), orographic uplift/forced convection (air up a mountain), frontal uplift (front), and convergence uplift (air masses converge)
What does convection occurs in?
Convection only occurs in fluids. Fluids are gases or liquids.
Why is this convection?
convection occurs in fluids such as water and air
What occurs in mercury of a thermometer convection or conduction?
convection
Why is convection?

What type of erosion occurs in a Llano uplift?
Flash-flooding
What does convection cell mean?
It refers to a region in which convection occurs.
How do you use convection in a sentence?
When convection occurs in the air, winds are formed.
What is the transfer of energy that occurs due to density differences in the air?
Convection.
Convection always occurs in what two forms?
forced and natural convection possibly
What is the difference between conduction and convection a 5th grade answer please?
Conduction occurs in solids and liquids but not gases. Convection occurs in gases and liquids.
What does convection only occur in?
Convection only occurs in fluids. Fluids are gases or liquids.
