When sunlight strikes the ground it warms the ground and the air near it. The warm air near the ground then rises as it expands. What does this process typically result in on the ground?
1 answer
This process typically results in the formation of air currents or convection currents on the ground. As the warm air rises, cooler air near the ground moves in to replace it, creating a circulation of air. This motion of the air can result in gusty winds or breezes.
