What happens after the warm air and moisture meet cooler air? Select the sentence that states what happens next.
The warm, wet air rises because warm air is lighter than cold air.
The wind moves the heat and water high into the atmosphere.
Then, Earth’s turning begins to work against the easterly winds, twisting the growing storm into a tube shape.
The center of this tube is called the eye.
The heat and moisture from the ocean’s surface come into contact with the cooler air higher up, creating thunderstorms.
Then, the cooler air travels back toward the ocean’s surface and pulls more moisture from the ocean.
Once that moisture rises into the thunderclouds, it is released as heavy rain.
This type of rain usually accompanies hurricanes.
