The air at high altitudes is colder that that at lower altitudes, but it is less dense because it is under lower pressure. If you were to force high altitude air down to ground level it would compress and heat up, in most cases becoming warmer than the surrounding air. In such a situation the atmosphere is said to be unstable. In some cases, however, a sinking mass of air might not become warmer than the surroundings. In such cases warm air rises and cool air sinks in a process called convection.
What else can I help you with?
In what pressure area does cold denser air sink?
Cold denser air sinks in high-pressure areas. As the air cools, its density increases, causing it to sink towards the Earth's surface in areas of high pressure.
When warm air rises cold air will what?
The cold air will sink.
Where on earth you can float and not sink?
The dead sea. The level of salt is so high that it will make it very hard to sink.
What is cold sinking air?
Cold sinking air refers to air masses that are denser and heavier than the surrounding air, causing them to sink towards the surface. This process can lead to stable atmospheric conditions and inhibit cloud formation and precipitation. Cold sinking air is often associated with high pressure systems and clear weather.
The air above the poles is?
colder than at the equator due to the angle of sunlight hitting the poles, causing denser air to sink and accumulate. This results in high atmospheric pressure and lower temperatures.
In what pressure area does cold denser air sink?
Cold denser air sinks in high-pressure areas. As the air cools, its density increases, causing it to sink towards the Earth's surface in areas of high pressure.
Will cold water sink or swim?
SiNk
Which stone doesnt sink in water?
Pumice
What is dry cold?
dry cold is a cold that come in yr sink
When warm air rises cold air will what?
The cold air will sink.
Does the cold from sublimating dry ice sink?
Cold is not a substance, so it can't sink. The air around the dry ice, and the gaseous carbon dioxide being formed will be cold and therefore dense, so they will sink through warmer air.
Does hot water rise and cold water sink?
HOT rises COLD sinks
Does plutonium float or sink?
Plutonium is a dense metal and will sink in water due to its high density.
Does sugar cubes float in water?
no it doesnt because it has lots of mass which makes in sink.
Does cold sink?
Yes, cold air is denser than warm air, so it tends to sink towards the ground. This is why you may notice colder temperatures closer to the ground, especially at night.
Do cold dry air masses sink or rise?
cold air sinks as denser - warm air rises
