Question 807Navigation General

The correct answer is A) convection. Convection is the heat transmitting process in the atmosphere where ascending and descending air masses with different temperatures play a crucial role. As warm air rises, it carries heat upward, and as cooler air sinks, it transports heat downward, creating convection currents that drive weather patterns and heat transfer in the atmosphere. The other options are incorrect because: B) Barometric inversion is a meteorological condition, not a heat transfer process. C) Conduction involves the transfer of heat through direct contact between objects, not the movement of air masses. D) Radiation refers to the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, not the physical movement of air.
