Match the atmospheric energy transfer process that best fits each of the following scenarios: Warming of the Earth's surface on a sunny day
[ Choose ] convection conduction radiation advection
On a sunny afternoon, you watch cumulus clouds forming
[ Choose ] convection conduction radiation advection
A very shallow layer of air in contact with the ground is warmed
[ Choose ] convection conduction radiation advection
A south wind carries warm air into the central United States
[ Choose ] convection conduction radiation advection

a) RADIATION, b) CONVECTION, c)  CONDUCTION, d) CONVECTION

Explanation:

In the heating processes there can be three types: conduction, convention and radiation.

The conduction process occurs when the movement of atoms or thermal agitation of molecules creates the transfer of thermal energy.

The convention process occurs when there is a movement of matter creating the transfer of energy

The process of Radiation an electromagnetic wave indexes on a material and is absorbed, creating the process of energy transfer.

Now let's examine each situation>

a)Warming of the Earth's surface on a sunny day

in this case the sunlight heats the earth as it is absorbed, which is why it is a RADIATION process

b) On a sunny afternoon, you watch cumulus clouds forming

in this case the nines rise from the surface, since it is a moving mass, the process is CONVECTION

c) A very shallow layer of air in contact with the ground is warmed

in this case the thermal movement of the layer molecules heat the earth, for which the process of CONDUCTION

d) A south wind carries warm air into the central United States

As we have a movement of a mass of matter, the process is CONVECTION.

the answer for apex is the lowest
