two things that work together to cause seasons
Earth's revolution around the sun and the tilt of the Earth
What causes wind systems?
unequal heating of Earth's surface AND rotation of the Earth
type of air that is more dense
cold
What cools and heats more quickly---land or water?

How does air move in a convection current?
Warm air rises, and cold air sinks.
What causes the uneven heating of the Earth's surface?
