when you heat matter, it expands. When you cool matter, it shrinks. So if you have hot air in a larger body of cool air (lets say a hot air balloon in the sky) it will weight less than the surrounding body of cool air, since its less dense (because the air is hot, thus expanded). This creates buoyancy which lifts the hot air, and this case, the entire balloon.

What is the nae of the prossoe of warm air rising asnd cool air sinking?
The process of warm air rising and cool air sinking is called convection current The process of warm air rising and cool air sinking is called convection current
What is the process of warm air rising and cool air sinking called?
The process of warm rising and cool air sinking is called convection. Convection is the concerted, collective movement of groups or aggregates of molecules within fluids and rheids, either through advection or through diffusion or as a combination of both of them.
What is the definition of warm air rising?
warm air rising is called an updraft. and up draft is also a type of wind (air)
What storms produced by large rising columns of warm moist air?
Rising columns of warm, moist air produce thunderstorms.
Rising air is called what?
Convection. Convection is the process where a fluid (liquid or gas) moves and transports heat due to hotter fluid rising and cooler fluid sinking due to differences in density.

What is the process called of warm air rising and clod air sinking?
Convection.
Where is warm air rising on the Earth?
Warm air is rising all around on earth. However, particularly, the warm air tends to begin rising near the ocean front.

Does warm air and high pressure causes rising air?
Yes warm air and low pressure can cause rising air.

Are winds formed by the rising of warm air and sinking of cool air?
rising
Thunderstorms develop as a result of which process in ocean areas?
rising warm air creating low pressure cells rising warm air creating high pressure cells falling air temperatures creating low pressure cells falling air temperatures creating high pressure cells
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 is warm rising air?
an updraft
Rising air is called what?
Convection. Convection is the process where a fluid (liquid or gas) moves and transports heat due to hotter fluid rising and cooler fluid sinking due to differences in density.
