Warm air rising from just above the asphalt to reach the level of Thomas’s face
Which statement explain how the Earth is unequally heated?
The sun creates deadly heat rays that create unequal heating.
The winds change the atmosphere by moving masses from place to place.
The ocean currents move from one place to another.
The Earth is tilted on its axis, so different regions receive different amounts of energy.
Convection currents occur when ______________________ energy transfers between a fluid or gas.
potential
kinetic
thermal/heat
electric
Which of the following explains how ocean currents are created?
