Quarter 2 EQT Review

Which statement best describes how energy transfer within Earth’s atmosphere can affect a weather condition?

• During radiation, particles directly transfer heat to each other through direct contact which affects air temperature.

• During radiation, waves transfer heat and light energy which affects the air temperature.

• During convection, particles directly transfer heat to each other which affects the amount of precipitation.

• During convection, waves transfer heat and light energy which affects the amount of precipitation.
