By what process does the sun heat the earth
increases
Air over land heats more quickly so the air rises and is replaced by the cooler ocean air.
Nitrogen
the water cycle involves evaporation of water but then brings it back in the form of precipitation
Convection
Most of the radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere so it is mostly visible light that makes it to the earth's surface.
radiation
Pressure decreases and temperature fluctuates
Which process best describes the process of hot air rising and cold air falling?
increases
Air over land heats more quickly so the air rises and is replaced by the cooler ocean air.
Nitrogen

Convection
Most of the radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere so it is mostly visible light that makes it to the earth's surface.
radiation
Pressure decreases and temperature fluctuates
When air temperature in the atmosphere decreases, pressure
increases
Air over land heats more quickly so the air rises and is replaced by the cooler ocean air.
