As cold air sinks, it becomes denser and more compressed due to increased atmospheric pressure. This compression causes the air to warm up through the process of adiabatic compression.

What kind of air sinks?

Cold, denser air sinks because it is heavier than warm air. Cold air near the Earth's surface displaces warm air, causing it to rise. As cold air sinks, it can create high pressure areas and contribute to stable atmospheric conditions.

Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles creating?

Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles. Warm air expands and cool air contracts and compresses.


What does warm air do?

Warm air rises,and then sinks when the air is cold.

What does the air at the poles do when it is colder and denser than the surrounding air?

The cold and dense air at the poles sinks towards the surface. This creates a high-pressure system that can lead to cold and stable weather conditions.


Warm air weighs more than cold air?

no cold air is heavier because it sinks and hot air rises


Why does warm air slide over cold air at worm fronts?

Warm air is lighter then cold air. So the cold air sinks and the warm air raise.
