lesson 2.09

Question 7 options:

The sun's energy heats air at the equator more than it does at the poles.


As a result, air near the equator heats up and rises because it is less dense.


As it rises, it cools and begins to flow toward the poles. As this air leaves the equator, cooler and heavier air from the poles flows along the surface to take its place.


Radiant energy from the sun strikes Earth unevenly.
