Question
what drives the circulation of air in the atmosphere? (1 point)
condensation
conduction
convection
evaporation
Brief Explanations
- Condensation is the process of gas turning into liquid, not related to air circulation.
- Conduction is heat transfer through direct contact, not relevant here.
- Evaporation is liquid turning into gas, not the driver of air circulation.
- Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (like air). Warmer air rises (less dense) and cooler air sinks (more dense), creating a cycle of air movement (circulation) in the atmosphere.
