The answer is C. Cold, denser air falls

Convection is a process of transmission of heat by transporting molecules from place to place within a substance. It occurs in in fluids that moves freely such as water and air. In the atmosphere, convection is the rising and falling of air masses. In convection, the hot, less dense air at the equator rises and cool, dense air at the poles falls and moves toward the equator.

Aleksandr [31]

The answer is A.
Ice Age or glacial period refers to the extended period of well-below-average temperatures. It is a prolonged period where reduction in the temperature of the Earth’s surface and atmosphere are caused by the expansion of continental and polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers. Usually this phenomenon occurs in the northern and southern hemispheres where extensive ice sheets are seen most.

1. _______when wind allows cold dense water to rise from the bottom of the ocean to the surface.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

upwelling
obliquity
thermohaline circulation
Milankovitch cycles
eccentricity
precession

Explanation:

Upwelling is a process of the winds that drives away the warm water from the surface and bring up the cold and dense water from below.

Obliquity is the nature of the axial tilt of the earth i.e 23.5 ° Due to the equator bulge and other properties of the earth.

The thermohaline circulation is the global circulation of the waster that is created by the gradient flow of the surface heat and the freshwater influxes.

Milankovitch cycles are the effect of the changes in the earth's movements in climatic patterns over a thousands of years period.

Eccentricity is the orbital rotation of the earth around the sun on its axis and has more of a circular elliptical path.

The precession is the change in the orientation of the axial tilt of the planet in reference to the rotating body.
