What is the main method of heat transfer in your atmosphere?
it receives it from the sun in forms of electromagnetic waves / or radiation
How does convection and radiation heat a room?
Because the air closer to the heater heats up first. It then gets warmer and less dense and rises to the top of the room, which pushes down the cooler air that is already up at the top. Then that air warms up and rises to the top, pushing the cooler air down. This creates the Convection Current and that is how the room gets heated : )
What is heat transfer when hot air rises and cold air sinks?
Convection...
Because of convection the warmest air in the room?
heat rises
Why is a hot air balloon a good example of convection?
the hot air from the heater rises forcing the cooler air out. this makes the balloon go up. this is convection
What is a cycle in which air is warmed and warm air rises and air is cooled and cooled air sinks?
This describes what happens in a convection cycle.
When warm air rises and cool air sinks in what is it called?
Convection Currents

Warm air rises and cool air sinks?
Convection
Air flowing from the equator to the poles rises and falls in looping patterns What are these patterns called?
Convection Cells
What does heat and energy have to do with convection?
A convection current is when hot air rises, and cool air fall, creating convection.~Britney, 7th
Do convection currents happen when cool air rises?
No. Convection occurs when warm air rises and cool air sinks. It is not limited to air, either, but can occur in virtually any liquid or gas.

Warm air rises and cools air sinks is?
convection and subsidence
How do conduction convection and radiation affect the movement and temperature of air near the ocean?
Conduction, convection and radiation affects the movement and temperature of air near the ocean. Conduction causes difference in temperatures. For example, during a hot day, land heats up more quickly than water. Water is a better conductor of heat. The air near the land's surface is heated due to conduction and radiation. It expands and rises since it is lighter than surrounding air. This is called convection. To replace the air that rose, the air from the sea's surface blows to land.
How do the three types of heat transfer work together to heat the troposphere?
Convection currents move many weather systems on the earth. Solar radiation warms the earth. The solids heat faster and air over the shore area rises. Cooler air over the water rushes in to replace it. Convection currents also occur in the oceans Air cools as it rises and clouds form.
