Prerequisites

What you need to understand first.

  • Change L1 (requires)
    convection met requires understanding change as a foundational concept
  • Weather L5 (requires) mutual
    Convection is the vertical movement of air in the atmosphere caused by heating from below, where warm air rises and cool air sinks in continuous cycles, driving weather systems and cloud formation.
