Pressure Lab
Air mass- large group of air
-similar pressure
-similar temperature
-similar water amount

Observation of Flow of Bubbles

Bubbles rose

Bubbles Sunk
|
1. How were the bubbles affected by the temperature of the obstacles?
Bubbles over warm air rose and the bubbles over the cool air sunk
2. If the bubbles represent an air mass, how does the temperature affect air masses?
A warm air mass rises while a cool air mass sinks
3. What might happen to an air mass flowing over a sun-heated desert?
The air mass will rise because it has low density
4. What might happen to an air mass flowing over a cold ocean?
The air mass will sink because it has high density.
