Solar energy heats the surface of the earth, including the ground, rocks, and even roadways. as the temperature of these surfaces increases, heat energy is released back into the atmosphere, forming a pocket of warm air. as the warm air pocket rises, it is replaced by cooler air. this process is responsible for many of the weather patterns in our atmosphere, and is known as

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "Convection." Solar energy heats the surface of the Earth, including the ground, rocks, and even roadways. As the temperature of these surfaces increases, heat energy is released back into the atmosphere, forming a pocket of warm air. As the warm air pocket rises, it is replaced by cooler air. This process is responsible for many of the weather patterns in our atmosphere, and is known as Convection.
