What are sedimentary rocks?

Explain why warm air always rises over cold air.

Warm air always rises over cold air because it has higher energy and, therefore, less pressure. This causes the warm air to be less dense and always rise higher in a given space or in the atmosphere. Cold air is denser, has less energy, and has more pressure, so it sinks.
