When a mass of air rises it cools as a gas due to a decrease in overall pressure with altitude. This results in adiabatic cooling, resulting in a decrease in the measurable temperature of the air.
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. At dew point water vapour will condense into clouds, which may result in precipitation.
Air is typically lifted either through pressure cells, or through orographic lifting whereby air is forced upward in altitude as it travels over terrain such as mountains.
What else can I help you with?
Why does hot air float while cold air rises?
density
Why does air cool when it rises through the atmosphere what is this type of cooling known as?
Air cools becuase when its rising through the atmosphere altitude decreases temperature, and when air rises its temperature drops at the dry abiatic rate. This type of cooling is known as adiabatic.
When something vibrates in the air what is squashed together?
The air pressure rises
Hot air rises because of a change in its?
temperature
What happen when air gets heated?
As air (unconfined), is heated its volume increases, and its density decreases. That makes it lighter (per volume) than it was. Warm air will rise above colder air, and in essence, float on top of the colder air.
What does the air do as it rises?
Air cools as it rises.
What happens to the air in the surrounding as warm air rises?
it gets warmer as it rises
What happen to the air in the surrounding as warm air rises?
it gets warmer as it rises
What happen to air in the surroundings as warm air rises?
it gets warmer as it rises
What happened to the air in the surroundings as warm air rises?
it gets warmer as it rises
When air rises does it get warmer?
Warm air rises and then comes down as cool air, and the opposite is also true.
When air rises does it become warm?
It's the other way round - when air becomes warm, it rises.
How Does temperature affect air pressure and air density?
When altitude rises, the air pressure and density both decrease. When temperature rises that means that more air is pushing down on it. So this means that the air pressure and density rise when temperature rises.
How does temperature affect air density and air pressure?
When altitude rises, the air pressure and density both decrease. When temperature rises that means that more air is pushing down on it. So this means that the air pressure and density rise when temperature rises.
How does the air density inside a balloon change as it rises from the ground to the air?
The air density inside a balloon changes as it rises because the hot air inside the hot air balloon is less dense than the air around it causing it to fly since hot air rises. But as it rises it loses its hot air causing it to eventually not be able to fly anymore and come down.
Why does precicpitation occur when warm air rises?
When air rises in the atmosphere it decompresses and cools. This can cause moisture in the air to condense and form precipitation.
Why air rises when it is heated?
No
