AFNR 4.1

The movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat. ____________________

What would happen if the Sun is removed from the water cycle?

• The water cycle would not include precipitation but would continue with groundwater flow.

• The water cycle would no longer occur because the Sun provides the energy for evaporation and transpiration.

• The water cycle would no longer occur because the Sun provides energy for the formation of clouds.

• The water cycle would not include evaporation and transpiration but would continue with condensation.

The atmosphere, the ground, and also bodies of water are all heated by the Sun's energy. How does this energy reach Earth?

• radiation

• conduction

• convection

• gravity

Warm, less dense air (including vapor) rises in the atmosphere. Cool, more dense air (including vapor) sinks. This transfer is . . . .

• convection

• conduction

• radiation

• gravity
