What evidence could you use to support the claim that warm air rises and cold air sinks (goes down)? Choose all the options that could be used as evidence.

• A hot air balloon goes up when the air is hot and goes down when the air cools down

• The weather balloon measured warmer temps. near the ground

• The video of convection currents demonstrated showed water rising above the heater and cooling down higher up

• The computer model showed the biggest storms happen when the air down low is warm and up high it is very cold

At what point would rain start to fall?

• When the force of the updraft (air moving up) is GREATER than the weight & size of the water droplets

• When the force of the updraft (air moving up) is LESS than the weight & size of the water droplets

• When the humidity in the air becomes really low

• When the humidity in the air increases
