  1. what causes currents in the atmosphere? warm air rising and cold air sinking water evaporating from a lake. the pull of the moons gravity on the earth the movement of the earth around the sun.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Atmospheric currents are driven by differences in air temperature and density. Warm air is less dense, so it rises, while cold, denser air sinks. This creates convection currents, which are the primary cause of atmospheric currents. Water evaporation affects humidity and precipitation, moon gravity drives tides, and Earth's orbit around the Sun causes seasons, but none are the direct cause of atmospheric currents.

Answer:

Warm air rising and cold air sinking
