when a warm and cold air come in as a contact it is like cold air is heavier than warm air so it sinks forcing lighter warm air to rise

What happens when a cool air mass meets and replaces a warm air mass?

When a cool air mass meets and replaces a warm air mass, it results in a cold front. The cool air pushes under the warm air, forcing the warm air to rise. This can lead to the formation of clouds, precipitation, and a drop in temperature as the warm air is displaced by the cooler air mass.


What happens when warm air gets cool?

Condensation


What happens to cool air when in enters a warm environment?

nothing


What happens during atmospheric convections?

Warm air rises, and cool air sinks.


When happens when cooler air and heated air interact?

The cool air will sink and the warm air will rise.


What happens when fronts meet?

When fronts meet from the opposite and collide, it is called an occluded front. A cold occluded front is cold air shoving under cool air at the Earth's surface thus the name 'cold occlusion'. The cold warm air boundary aloft is often west of the surface front. A warm occlusion is when cool air rises over cold air at the surface thus the name 'warm occlusion'. The warm-cold air boundary aloft is often east of the surface front. By Lisa Gardiner


When warm moist air comkes in contact with cool air what happens?

Usually rain showers or thunderstorms result.


When cool air cools what happens?

It gets colder. And the energy increases so the particles move further apart.


What happens as the hair dryer takes in cool air from one end and blows out warm air from the other?

Cool air that is drawn into a hair dryer passes over superheated electric coils. Naturally, warm air is expelled from the other side.


Why does cool air sink and warm air rises?

Because warm air is less dense then cool air.


What happens when a warm airmass moves over a cool airmass?

When a warm air mass moves over a cool air mass, the warm air mass will rise since it is less dense than the cool air mass. As the warm air rises, it cools and condenses, leading to the formation of clouds and potentially precipitation. This process can result in the development of unstable weather conditions.


What happens when cool air masses invade warm air masses?

When a cool air mass invades a warm air mass, it creates a boundary called a cold front. The denser cool air wedges under the warm air, forcing it to rise rapidly. This can result in the formation of thunderstorms, heavy rain, and strong winds along the front as the warm air is displaced.
