In convection, COOL air

Energy for convection on the Earth comes from...

• The sun
• The moon
• Solar winds
• The ocean

The cycle that powers the ocean currents, weather, and tectonic plates it called

• conduction current
• radiation
• condition current
• convection current

The main reason that we have currents in the ocean and air is

• the sun heats the air and ocean evenly everywhere
• the heat inside the earth heats the ocean and the ocean heats the air
• the sun cannot heat both the air and water, so one must heat the other
• the sun heats air and water more at the equator because it receives more direct sunlight

Warm air rises and the cool air sinks demonstrates this type of heat transfer. 

• conduction
• convection
• radiation
• Insolation 

The Gulf Stream is a current that brings warm ocean water from the south to the north. What type of heat transfer is this?

• conduction
• convection
• radiation
• Insolation
