14. Karim brings a chair from the backyard into his house and is going to stack it on top of another chair. Both chairs are the
same size and have the same number of molecules. The diagram above shows the chairs before they touch. Use the information in the diagram to answer the question.
How does the temperature of the bottom chair compare with the temperature of the top chair before the chairs touch? What will happen after the chairs have been touching for a while?
a Before the chairs touch, the bottom chair is cooler than the top chair. Once the chairs are touching, the top chair will transfer kinetic energy to the molecules in the cooler bottom chair until both chairs reach the same temperature, which will be in between their starting temperatures.
b Before the chairs touch, the bottom chair is hotter than the top chair. Once the chairs are touching, the bottom chair will transfer kinetic energy to the molecules in the cooler top chair until both chairs reach the same temperature, which will be in between their starting temperatures.
c Before the chairs touch, the chairs are different temperatures. Once the chairs are touching, both kinetic energy and cold energy will transfer between the molecules in the two chairs until both chairs reach the same temperature, which will be in between their starting temperatures.
d Before the chairs touch, the bottom chair is hotter than the top chair. Once the chairs are touching, the cooler top chair will gain kinetic energy until the molecules in both chairs have an energy of 35, because hotter things increase the temperature of cooler things.

Explanation:
Winds are caused by low and high pressure zones, mainly due to temperature differences of atmospheric air in different regions. Air moves from high to low-pressure zones causing winds.
Local winds, as the name suggests, are winds due to regional temperature differences. An example is sea breeze caused by temperature differences over land and sea in the region.
Global winds, on the other hand, are caused by large pressure systems across the planet. These are mainly caused by differences in how the sunlight ‘hits’ the planet at different latitudes – due to earth’s spherical nature- causing differential heating of the earth. These winds travel great distances causing trade winds.
