Answers:
Most important factor (rising air) coming from the Valley. The valley heats up more than the surrounding area. Ridge System/ Lift- Provides an upward lit. The wind creates a region of rising air directly above the slope which may extend …show more content…
It's all starts with the water and energy molecules at the bottom of the valley. The water molecules are heated by the sun and then are transformed into gas molecules (air molecules) which then begin to rise. The energy is used to create air molecules and this then creates an object with mass or volume and this then add to the lift. The air molecules start to rise since they are heated and create a lift. The phenomenon in his experiment is thermal lift. The way that thermal lift works is when water is being heated the air begins to rise, lifting the objects above it. This phenomenon creates energy for the gliders to use. When the molecules gain heat energy it turns into kinetic energy. When the molecules increase their speed they are using kinetic energy. When they start moving faster the space between the molecules decreases. This space between the molecules increases the volume causing the density to …show more content…
This means that when one factor is increased/decreased the other does the same. For example, when blowing up a balloon with your mouth, the more you breathe into it, the more moles are transferred from your mouth into the balloon. This causes the balloon’s volume to increase as well because the more molecules you add, the more space is needed(inflation). Also, when the balloon’s volume decreases, the more moles are forced out because there is no room or else the balloon will pop, causing the volume to increase again. Therefore, the number of moles and volume relate directly to one
