Question

2 multiple choice 1 point which phrase describes a physical process that occurs in the atmosphere? glacial movement causes landforms to change. materials are transported throughout oceans by tectonic subduction. breakdown of organic materials causes soil buildup on the surface. movement of air masses transfers heat from one region to another.

Explanation:

• Glacial movement is a surface geologic process, not atmospheric.
• Tectonic subduction is a geologic process in the lithosphere, not atmospheric.
• Organic material breakdown is a soil/biological process, not atmospheric.
• Air masses are part of the atmosphere, and their heat transfer is an atmospheric physical process.

Answer:

D. Movement of air masses transfers heat from one region to another.
