Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine a kettle. When you open it, all the hot water vapour will rise up, attempting to burst out. However, when it comes in contact with the cold air, it also becomes cold, causing it to sink back down and giving us the visual effect of steam.

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

Cool and dense air falls through more warm and less dense air during convection. The cooler, which is much heavier than warm air, is displacing the warmer, which has less mass. Convection always involves rising air in the atmosphere.
