A. hot air rising and cooler air falling
B. a hot object transferring heat to a cooler one
C.a hot oven warming the air around it
D.the rays of the Sun warming the earth

Respuesta :

A. hot air rising and cooler air falling

The answer is A because when the air temperature increases, the hot air rises due to the expansion of the volume of gas. The movement of this hot air transfers heat upward. In the upper atmosphere, the air temperature is lower, so the cooler air falls as the volume of gas contracts and takes the place of the hot air. This is an example of convection because heat is transferred by the movement of the air particles.
