# 5 what will most likely happen when an air mas of low temperature exists above a water body at a higher temperature? Heat will transfer from the wetter to the air

Heat will transfer from the water to the air. When a mass of air moves on a warmer surface it is heated by its base. Then thermal instability develops in the lower layers and then extends upwards. If the air initially contained inversions, these are destroyed and a strong gradient is established uniformly in the lower troposphere temperature.

B) as the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the particles increases.|-/
