Which type of precipitation falls as a result of an air mass being pushed over a mountain?
Orographic precipitation occurs when an air mass is forced to rise over a mountain barrier, leading to cooling and condensation, which results in precipitation on the windward side of the mountain.
What is the formula for the change of temperature of an air mass as it passes Over a mountain and as it moves into a Leeward Valley?
The answer is 7
What will happen if a high humidity air mass located over an ocean moves inland an up a mountain slope and why?
When a high humidity air mass moves inland and up a mountain slope, it will cool as it rises, leading to the condensation of water vapor and the formation of clouds. This can result in increased precipitation on the windward side of the mountain due to orographic lift. As the air mass descends on the leeward side, it warms and dries out, creating a rain shadow effect where the area experiences less rainfall.
How would you compare the mass flow rate of two identical fans one at sea level and other on top of mountain running at identical speed?
The mass flow rate of the two identical fans would differ due to the variation in air density at different altitudes. At sea level, the air is denser, resulting in a higher mass flow rate compared to the fan on top of a mountain, where the air is less dense. Even though both fans are running at identical speeds, the fan at sea level would move more mass of air per unit time than the fan at higher elevation. Thus, the mass flow rate is greater at sea level than on the mountain.
Which is produced when warm air mass pushes a colder air mass?
An Warm air mass
Will air at the top of the mountain contain more mass?
No , but less mass and less density .
Which type of precipitation falls as a result of an air mass being pushed over a mountain?
Orographic precipitation occurs when an air mass is forced to rise over a mountain barrier, leading to cooling and condensation, which results in precipitation on the windward side of the mountain.
When an air mass rises up a mountain sides?
It cools, and may loose its water content.
What effect forces an air mass upward and down the leeward side of the mountain?
Orographic uplift occurs when an air mass is forced to rise up a mountain slope. As the air rises, it cools adiabatically and condenses to form clouds and precipitation on the windward side of the mountain. On the leeward side, the now drier air descends and warms adiabatically, resulting in a rain shadow effect where little precipitation falls.
A cubic meter of air has less mass at the top or bottm of the mountain?
At the top, because the pressure there is lower.
What is the formula for the change of temperature of an air mass as it passes Over a mountain and as it moves into a Leeward Valley?
The answer is 7
What should a person expect to happen to the air pressure as she moves from the base of the mountain to the top of the mountain?
The air pressure will decrease as the person moves from the base to the top of the mountain. This is because air pressure decreases with higher altitude due to the decreasing density of air molecules as elevation increases.

If you have a high-humidity low-pressure air mass that is pushed up a mountain what will most likely happen to the wheather?
It will precipitate.
When a warm moist air mass moves toward a mountain range what happens?
As the warm moist air mass rises over the mountain range, it cools and condenses, leading to the formation of clouds and precipitation on the windward side of the mountains. This process is known as orographic lifting and can result in heavy rainfall on the mountainsides. On the leeward side of the mountains, the air mass descends and warms, creating a rain shadow effect with drier conditions.
What is the name for a large body of air?
This forms a front it can be a cold or warm front
What is another word for air mass?
warm air mass and cold air mass
