What else can I help you with?
Why does the air over the equator rise?
Probably because it is warmer and hence lighter.
Why does temperature rise as altitude increases in the stratosphere?
It begins to get warmer from the sun's radiation.
What way does air move in a convection current?
In a convection current, air molecules near a heat source become energized and rise due to lower density. As these molecules cool, they become denser and sink back down, creating a circular motion of air flow known as a convection current.
A warmer world is least likely to result in?
A warmer world is least likely to result in lower energy consumption. Increased temperatures may lead to more frequent use of air conditioning, causing energy usage to potentially rise.
Which type of air would you expect to have more space between air molecules?
Warmer Air does this.
Why does warmer air rise?
Warmer air rises because it is less dense than cooler air. As air is heated, its molecules move faster and spread out, causing the air to become lighter and rise above the cooler, denser air. This process is known as convection.
Do currents cause warmer and cooler temperatures in the areas where they are located?
No. Currents in the air and oceans are caused by the heat from the sun.
As wind attempts to rise over a mountain it becomes?
Warmer
Why do molecules in cold things move more slowly compared to molecules in warmer substances?
Molecules in cold substances move more slowly compared to molecules in warmer substances because lower temperatures reduce the energy of the molecules, causing them to move less and at a slower pace.
Do molecules rise or sink after they are heated?
When molecules are heated, they increase in kinetic energy and tend to rise due to decreased density. This is because as a substance is heated, its molecules spread out and become less dense, causing them to rise in a fluid medium such as air or water.
What must molecules do matter to become warmer?
move faster.
What must molecules do for. Matter to become warmer?
move faster.
Why does cold air rise?
Cold air rises because it is denser than warm air. When air is cold, its molecules are closer together, making it heavier and causing it to sink. As a result, the warmer, less dense air around it pushes the cold air upward, causing it to rise.
Buoyant air will rise until it?
Buoyant air will rise until it reaches warmer air that is the same density as itself.
A circular flow of warmer fluid and cooler fluid is called?
Molecules
Why does temperature rise as altitude increases in the stratosphere?
It begins to get warmer from the sun's radiation.
Why does the air over the equator rise?
Probably because it is warmer and hence lighter.
