If hot air rises, then why are many low-lying areas so hot?
In: Earth Science
Think of it this way. Have you seen a poofy jacket? The air in the jacket holds in the heat. The poofier the jacket, the warmer it is, just like the more air above you the warmer the air can become. It can hold more energy. Air higher up isn’t as dense, so it can’t hold as much heat.
