Why did you order the sands in the way that you did?

Which sentence describes a cause of wind? (Mark the one best answer.)

• Energy from the Sun causes oxygen particles in the air to move faster than nitrogen.

• Wind is caused by things like leaves and flags pushing particles in the air.

• Light, cold air rises in the air and pushes denser warm air away.

• Dense, cold air falls closer to the ground and pushes warm air away.

This graph shows temperature data from two containers. One container had 100 mL of water, and the other had 100 mL of dry sand. Each container was placed in the sunlight for 20 minutes and then in the shade for 20 minutes. Which container (X or Y) heated up more in 20 minutes?

• X

• Y
