If light things float why do they sink?

[dan020350]

The sun rise from the east,
The sunsets at the west
When all chaos ends
The world is in peace

When chaos struck
the world turns
There are but 2 elements,
Male and female

Light elements became sky and heaven
Heavy elemnts solidfied and became earth
Now if the sky is the lighest
Why in a distance they sink lower then the heavy elements?

....whaaaaa?

[Bii]

Actually there is no such thing as 'sky' - when you look up you see space filtered through the earth's atmosphere.

Not quite sure what you're getting at here?....

[dan020350]

You don't get it?

Sky is the lightest thing in the planet. Which also could be call air.
And things in solid ground we call heavy.

But if you stare at the sky, the sky is moving dowards then those that are heavy ( solid landmass). So how can you say air is the lightest?

It is one of the ancient poems .

uhhhh.... physics?

[cuppajoe_9]

"Air" (78 parts nitrogen, 21.12 parts oxygen, 0.93 parts argon, 0.04 parts carbon dioxide, trace amounts of other gases, and 3 parts water vapor) is not, in fact, the lightest thing on the planet.

[Dante Wodehouse]

Light things are pushed aside by the heavier things. Heavier things are always moving toward the center of the gravitational pull. Light things move downward, but can't push heavy things out of their way.

What about wind?

What pushes wind then?

[cuppajoe_9]

The Coriolis efect and differences in temperature and barometric pressure between regions, mostly.

Thats the fancy way of saying regions of high pressure push into low right?
Coriolis effect.... I like that word ...:nod:

[cuppajoe_9]

Actually the Coriolis effect describes the way low pressure systems are affected by the earth's rotation. It's pretty neat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_effect#Flow_around_a_low-pressure_area

I dont understand it.... oh well Ill just add it to the long list of things I cannt understand and leave it at that....

is it because the earth revoles we have wind? Or is it because of the way it revolves wind patterns are the way the are? :confused:

..not so stupid after all *pats self on back*
:D

The Corlious effect . Pretty neat how the diagrams illustrate circles all over the globe like a hurricane.

I think we have found the answer. But what does that tell you about human beings? We think in circles all the time and create a massive hurricane in our brain seldomly? Unless nature doesn't relate to human beings at all.

Whatever it is, we have finished the question.
