How does radiation dissipate?
When the Sun's heat warms the ground and air.
When air rises fom the ground it always compresses and warms?
false
When sunlight strikes the ground it warms the ground and the air near it. The warm air near the ground then rises as it expands. What does this process typically result in on the ground?
Cool air rushes in to replace the rising warm air.
What filters and warms the air?
Think about it either nose or mouth and the mouth has no means of filtration
What gets into the cavities and warms and moistens the air?
The nasal cavity warms and moistens air as it enters the body.
What is the effect of this infrared light being released into the air from the ground?
It warms the air
How does radiation dissipate?
When the Sun's heat warms the ground and air.
What forms wind power?
A convection current. The sun warms the ground/sea, this warms the air, the hot air rises, and cold air rushes in to take its place.

Why is Kilimanjaro is capped with snow?
Mt. Kilimanjaro is very high. At high altitudes, it gets colder. That is because sunlight warms the ground which warms the air, so air that is very far from the ground tends to be cold. At when it is cold enough, you get snow.
When light from the sun warms the ground the transfer of heat energy is called?
Radiation
What filters and warms the air?
Think about it either nose or mouth and the mouth has no means of filtration
Why is air heated from below?
Because sunlight is absorbed mostly by solid objects (not the gasses of the atmosphere), so the ground heats up, and warms the air adjacent to it.
What warms the ground and the ocean?
The sun!
The troposphere receives most of its heat energy from the?
The major contribution in heating the troposphere comes from the sun's radiation. The sun warms the ground by radiation, which in turn warms the air heating the troposphere.
