As a mass of air descends, its temperature typically increases due to the process of adiabatic warming. This occurs because the air compresses under higher atmospheric pressure as it descends, causing the air molecules to move faster and generate heat. Consequently, the temperature of the descending air mass rises, which can lead to the formation of clear skies as the air becomes less conducive to cloud formation.

What happens to the air temperature of a descending air mass?

Generally, the air temperature of a descending air mass will increase. This is due to the incredible mount of pressure placed on it. Generally, the air mass will also experience an increase in humidity.


What affect would an incorrect reading of temperature have on the molar mass?

An incorrect reading of temperature would not directly affect the molar mass of a substance. Molar mass is a fixed property of a substance regardless of the temperature at which it is measured. Temperature typically affects the physical state and behavior of the substance, but not its molar mass.

What happens to the air temperature dew point temperature and humidity of a descending mass of air?

Air temperature rises because the air compresses and warms adiabatically (simply because pressure increases). But no moisture is being added or removed from the air, so the dew point and absolute/specific humidity do not change. What changes is relative humidity, which lowers, due to the warmer air being able to hold more moisture.
