- Q2Heat is redistributed globally bythe Coriolis Force and air pressurepressure differences and ocean currentsocean currents and winds30s
- Q3On land, dark surfaces absorb sunlight.It then heats the air above it, which expands, becomes lighter and rises. This forms areas of low pressure.It then heats the air above it, which expands, becomes lighter and rises. This forms areas of high pressure.It then heats the air above it, which expands, becomes dense and sinks. This forms areas of high pressure.30s
