b)
Warm air is pushed by the wind
c)
Cool air disappears when warm air comes in

The Sun pulls warm air upward
3.
3. How does convection help create wind?

Warm air rises, and cool air moves in to take its place
b)
The Sun makes the wind blow
c)
Air stops moving when it gets cold

a)
Clear skies and calm weather
b)
Stormy, rainy, or cloudy weather

5. How do sea breezes form?

b)
Warm air over the land rises, and cool air from the ocean moves in
c)
The ocean heats up faster than the land, creating strong winds

6.
6. What is one way climate change is affecting convection and weather?

b)
The Sun gets hotter every year
c)
Hurricanes form when the air is dry
d)
The wind stops moving when it’s hot
8.
8. How can convection affect ocean currents?
a)
It makes ocean water rise and fall, changing currents
b)
It turns ocean water into clouds
c)
It stops ocean water from moving
d)
It only affects lakes, not the ocean
9.
9. Which of the following is a possible effect of climate change on weather patterns?
a)
More heatwaves and wildfires
b)
Less extreme weather events
c)
The complete stop of wind movement
d)
No more clouds forming anywhere
10.
10. What can people do to help slow down climate change?
a)
Use less energy and plant trees
b)
Burn more fossil fuels to keep the air warm
