How are convection currents produced in the air?
A.
Movement of animals and other objects on the surface stirs up the air.
B.
Warm air is less dense, so it rises. Cold air moves in to take its place.
C.
Cold air is less dense, so it rises. As the cold air rises, warm air descends.
D.
Big weather events like hurricanes and tornadoes cause convection currents.

The correct answer is:
**B. Warm air is less dense, so it rises. Cold air moves in to take its place.**
This process creates convection currents as warm air rises and cooler air moves in to fill the space, leading to a continuous cycle of air movement.
