Which are most responsible for absorbing heat energy from the sun and transferring it around Earth?
because the Atlantic Ocean keeps the temperatures along the coast warmer than the temperatures in central North Carolina
because Earth’s rotation moves the jet stream from west to east
Colder air over the ocean moves toward the warmer air over the land.
stormy weather
cloudy and rainy
change in air pressure
atmosphere and ocean currents

James observes a barometer on a clear day. The barometer shows that the air pressure is quickly dropping. What weather will most likely result from the drop in air pressure?
because the Atlantic Ocean keeps the temperatures along the coast warmer than the temperatures in central North Carolina
because Earth’s rotation moves the jet stream from west to east
Colder air over the ocean moves toward the warmer air over the land.

A student notices that it is hot and humid, and there are cumulus clouds in the sky. The cumulus clouds get much taller and larger throughout the day. What type of weather is most likely to happen?
because the Atlantic Ocean keeps the temperatures along the coast warmer than the temperatures in central North Carolina
because Earth’s rotation moves the jet stream from west to east
Colder air over the ocean moves toward the warmer air over the land.
