Why is the air in arrow B moving downward?

As the air was warmed, it became more dense and is falling to the surface.

It has been cooled in the upper atmosphere and is sinking back to the surface.

As the cooler air rises, it pushes the warmer air back to the surface to be cooled.

It has been warmed by the sun and is transferring heat to the surface.

Look at the image. Radiation and convection of the sun's energy transfer thermal energy. This transfer of thermal energy —

powers the global circulation of the atmosphere

burns away ozone over land masses

creates the energy needed to produce nonrenewable resources

transforms the sun's energy into usable forms like petroleum and coal

Which of the following is a correct statement concerning cloud formation?

Clouds are formed from small condensed water particles.

Cold air rises and gives off thermal energy to form clouds.
