This process is called convection. Hot air rises because it is less dense than cold air, creating a cycle where hot air goes up and cold air goes down, creating air currents.
It is true. It is the temperature of the air that mainly creates currents of wind.
A downdraft is a downward movement of air. Tornado formation is associated with what is called a rear-flank downdraft or RFD. The RFD descends from the back of a supercell thunderstorm and wraps around the rotating part of the storm called the mesocyclone, causing the rotation to tighten and intensify to form a tornado.
Water goes down in a cold place because cold water is denser than warm water, causing it to sink. In an airtight place, hot water rises because it is less dense than the cold air surrounding it, creating a convection current that makes the hot water move upwards.
When a warm air mass moves into an area where a cold air mass is located, it is called a warm front. At a warm front, the warm air mass rises over the cold air mass, leading to gradual temperature increases and cloud formation.
Air masses that are cold and forms over polar regions is polar. A cold front occurs when a cold air mass meets and displaces a warm air mass. A front that forms when a warm air mass is trapped between cold air masses and forced to rise is called a occluded front.
hot air goes up, cold air goes down.
warm air rises cold air goes down sinks
The cold air is denser, so cold air usually sinks down, and warmer air will float to the top.
Food goes down the esophogaus and air goes down the trachea.
It is true. It is the temperature of the air that mainly creates currents of wind.
A tornado. **Your Welcome!**
When air is heated, it expands, it becomes lighter and goes up. Cold air is denser and heavy. That is why it sinks down. When hot air rises, cold air from surrounding area rushes there to fill in the gap. That is how air circulation takes place.
it is called a cold front
There is really nothing interesting about cold fronts. Cold air is overtaking warm air. Since cold air is denser than warm air, cold air goes under a warm air mass.
Warm air is lighter than cold air because cold air is denser, by dense I mean the particles in cold air are more packed together than it is in warm air. Therefore cold air is heavier which is why warm/hot air always floats above cold air (same thing with hot/warm and cold water). That is why warm/hot air is lighter than cold air.That's the reason why a hot air balloon only goes up when there's something producing hot air (like fire for example), and the only reason it goes back down is if you put out the fire. Remember this only happens because Hot water/air is less dense than cold air which makes it lighter.
