Air is constantly moving in the earth’s atmosphere bringing weather to different parts of the earth. What causes this constant movement of air?

• Ocean currents

• The Coriolis Effect

• The uneven heating of the Earth

• The movement of areas high and low pressure

The sun generates convection currents on earth. This happens when:

• the sun heats up the land, which causes the warm air to rise

• the sun heats up the land, which causes the warm air to sink

• the sun heats up the land, which causes the cool air to rise

• the sun heats up the land, which causes the cool air to sink

Convection currents are all formed from differences in ______________.
