Which statement describes how the atmosphere gains energy by convection?(1 point) Responses Air warmed by the ground rises. Air warmed by the ground rises. Energy moves from the clouds to the air. Energy moves from the clouds to the air. The ground warms the air just above it. The ground warms the air just above it. Solar energy warms gases that make up the air.

Answer 1

The correct statement that describes how the atmosphere gains energy by convection is: Air warmed by the ground rises.

This process occurs because the ground absorbs solar energy, warms the air directly above it, and when that air becomes less dense, it rises, allowing cooler air to move in and take its place.
