Answer:

a. the wind

Step-by-step explanation:

Air near Earth's surface rises up into the atmosphere as it is heated by the wind. Then, convection transfers heat energy from warmer regions near the Earth's surface to regions higher up in the atmosphere, that happen because warmer air has a lower density than cold air
