Is this False or truth A SURFACE CURRENTS WARMS OR COOLS THE AIR ABOVE IT?

True. Surface currents can warm or cool the air above them, depending on the temperature of the current and the direction of the wind. Warm currents will typically warm the air above them, while cold currents will cool the air.


What property of the air has the most influence on convection currents?

Temperature is the property of air that has the most influence on convection currents. Warm air is less dense than cold air, causing it to rise and create upward convection currents. Conversely, cold air is denser and sinks, leading to downward convection currents.
