Energy from the Sun warms the land and water on the surface of Earth. The heat energy in Earth's surface then transfers to the air directly above it. The air above the land heats up faster than the air above the water.

Which statement explains how this transfer of heat energy causes wind?

• It causes the air above land to rise and the cooler, heavier air to rush in and take its place.

• It causes the air above land to push the cooler, heavier air out of place.

• It causes the air above land to move slower than the air above water.

• It causes the air above land to collide with cooler, heavier air.
