Question

multiple choice question
when air warms in one area, rises and moves horizontally as wind to another location, and then cools and descends, moving horizontally as wind back toward the original area, the pattern of circulation is called a ______ cell.
convection
pressure
conduction
rotation

Explanation:

Convection is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid (in this case, air). Warm air rises, moves horizontally, cools, descends, and moves back horizontally, forming a convection cell. Pressure refers to force per unit area, conduction is heat - transfer through direct contact, and rotation refers to circular movement around an axis.

Answer:

A. convection
