question 11 of 11 air rises because it is less dense than the surrounding air convective uplift orographic uplift frontal uplift convergent uplift
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
Convective uplift occurs when air is heated, becomes less dense than the surrounding air, and rises. Orographic uplift is due to air being forced up by terrain. Frontal uplift is when air is lifted along a weather - front. Convergent uplift is when air masses converge and are forced upward. The description in the question matches the concept of convective uplift.
# Answer:
Convective Uplift
