Which statement best explains why different areas of the Earth have different amounts of heat energy: The Earth receives different amounts of solar energy in different regions.. What causes wind: air flowing from a high pressure area to a low pressure area. Heat from the surface is transferred underground by which process: conduction. The method of heat transfer that plays a central role in transferring heat energy within the atmosphere and the ocean is: convection. Convection currents, resulting from uneven heating of the Earth's surface, cause _______ to form: wind. The atmosphere flows in large convection currents. What happens during atmospheric convection: Warm air rises, and cool air sinks.. During the day, when the Sun is shining, the ground gets warm mainly as a result of..: radiated heat from the Sun being absorbed by the ground..
