Huge volcanic ash clouds that blast into the atmosphere circulated across the Earth by the prevailing winds. How might these affect global climate during the time?

• The ash likely would not cause global temperatures to warm or cool.     
• The ash would cause a solar eclipse
• The ash may block incoming solar radiation and caused global temperatures to cool.
• The ash may block incoming solar radiation and caused global temperatures to rise.

Which method of energy transfer occurs mainly by the process of convection?  

• electromagnetic energy transferred from the Sun to the Moon
• solar energy transferred through space to Earth’s surface
