The sun heats the atmosphere of Earth unevenly.  Which of the following is the most likely result of this uneven heating?

• Convection in the atmosphere causes a change in air density, resulting in winds.
• Conduction through the atmosphere causes evaporation to occur over oceans resulting in rain.
• Radiation from the sun will reflect through the atmosphere back into space resulting in cooler evenings
• Radiation from the Sun will cause atmospheric moisture to collect over mountain ranges resulting in snowfall.
