Why is it that when there is a low pressure area there is warmer air?
Warmer air is less dense because the molecules have greater relative motion. Warm air rises over cooler, denser air.
What does warmer air do?
it rises
What is the process where cool dense material sinks and warm bouyant material rises?
Convection, hope this helps.
What happened to the air in the surroundings as warm air rises?
it gets warmer as it rises
Why is the air warmer when its near the ceiling?
Warmer air is less dense than colder air (think PV = nRT. If T goes up V goes up too). As a result, the warmer air rises due to buoyancy effects. Since air is not a very good conductor of heat, the temperature gradient persists unless the air is forced to mix. This is a reason why running a ceiling fan in the winter can help get a room warmer - by mixing the warmer air at the top of the room with the cooler air lower down.
Warm air rises because it is?
Warm air rises because it is less dense than colder air. As gases get warmer they expand that the molecules become farther apart causing it to become less dense and therefore, lighter per unit squared, this is why it rises.
Does the temperature of water affect the its density?
The warmer the water is the less dense it is but the colder it is the more dense it is. A2: therefore, warm water rises above cold water
Why is it that when there is a low pressure area there is warmer air?
Warmer air is less dense because the molecules have greater relative motion. Warm air rises over cooler, denser air.
When dense cold air pushes beneath warmer atmospheric air the lighter wamer air rises As this air rises into the atmospheere it cools and some of the water vapor in it codenses what?
A cloud is formed.
What does warmer air do?
it rises
Water vapor rises because it is?
Vaporized water rises because it is 100 degrees Celsius or warmer and is therefore warmer than the surrounding air and warmer air always rises above colder air.
When hot and cold air meet the hot air rises to the top but which process causes the hot air to rise?
hot air rises because it is less dense than cold air..this occurs by the process of convection
What is the process where cool dense material sinks and warm bouyant material rises?
Convection, hope this helps.
Why is the hot water in a liquid always at the top?
Heat rises. Warmer water has a less dense structure than does cold water, so the cold water literally "pushes" its way down to the bottom of a liquid, forcing the warmer water up.
Why is this basement so cold?
Warm air is less dense and tends to rise, cool air is more dense and tends to sink. That is why a hot air balloon rises if the air inside is warmer than the outside air.
What happen to the air in the surrounding as warm air rises?
it gets warmer as it rises
What happens to the air in the surrounding as warm air rises?
it gets warmer as it rises
