Select the statement(s) that accurately describe how energy is transferred in Earth's atmosphere.
The Sun warms the Earth through radiation. The soil, rocks, and water absorb the thermal energy.
The ground and water that are warmed from the radiation come in contact with the air particles above
and warm the molecules through conduction.
The air particles that were warmed through conduction rise into the atmosphere. The cooler molecules
sink back down toward Earth. This creates convection currents, which makes wind.
Air molecules high in the atmosphere are heated through radiation. The warm molecules sink down
toward the Earth, pushing the cooler molecules up into the atmosphere.
The ground is warmed from the heat radiating outward from the mantle. The warm ground heats the
air molecules when they come in contact with each other.
