What else can I help you with?
When sunlight strikes the ground it warms the ground and the air near it. The warm air near the ground then rises as it expands. What does this process typically result in on the ground?
Cool air rushes in to replace the rising warm air.
When the ground warms the air this is called?
This process is called conduction, where heat is transferred from the ground to the air through direct contact.
What happens as the sun's heat warms the earth's surface?
The heat rises in the form of infrared radiation, which is easily captured by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Do the oceans release solar radiation?
Yes, solar radiation warms the surface of the ocean. Warmth rises from the ocean in the form of infrared radiation.
What happen when air warm up?
When air warms up, its molecules gain energy and move faster, causing the air to expand and become less dense. This can lead to changes in air pressure, which in turn affects weather patterns and can create wind as the warm air rises and cooler air moves in to replace it.
When the air rises does it increase or decrease?
When air rises, it expands and cools, which causes its density to decrease. Conversely, when air descends, it compresses and warms, which causes its density to increase.
What forms wind power?
A convection current. The sun warms the ground/sea, this warms the air, the hot air rises, and cold air rushes in to take its place.
When sunlight strikes the ground it warms the ground and the air near it. The warm air near the ground then rises as it expands. What does this process typically result in on the ground?
Cool air rushes in to replace the rising warm air.
What happens after hot air warms the particles in a balloon?
it rises
Why will wind always be around?
Wind is always around because the sun is always around . A breeze / wind is created when the sun warms up the air. When the air is warmed up, it quickly rises up because heat rises up. As soon as it rises up, the cold air rushes in to take its place and that rush of cool air is wind.
What warms the ground and the ocean?
The sun!
What makes the breeze blow towards land by day?
The sun rays heat the ground more than they heat the water. As a result the ground heats up. The air next to the ground warms up, expands and rises. The cooler and heavier air, from over the water moves in to replace it.
When sunlight strikes the ground it warms the ground and the air near it The warm air near the ground then rises as it expands What does this process typically result in on the ground?
This process typically creates convection currents, which can result in the formation of breezes or winds as the warm air rises and cooler air moves in to take its place. This movement of air helps to distribute heat energy and regulate temperatures on the ground.
How does air heated near the earth's surface?
Air near the Earth's surface is heated primarily through the transfer of energy from the Sun. The Sun's radiation warms the ground, which in turn warms the air in contact with it through conduction. Warm air rises due to its lower density, creating convection currents that further distribute this heat throughout the atmosphere.
When the ground warms the air this is called?
This process is called conduction, where heat is transferred from the ground to the air through direct contact.
Why is Kilimanjaro is capped with snow?
Mt. Kilimanjaro is very high. At high altitudes, it gets colder. That is because sunlight warms the ground which warms the air, so air that is very far from the ground tends to be cold. At when it is cold enough, you get snow.
What happens to the dew point temperature of a descending air mass?
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.
