Solution

The correct option is A Advection
Advection is similar to convection with a small difference. In convection, transfer of heat happens vertically, whereas in advection, it happens laterally or horizontally. So, when winds blow across Earth's surface, the transfer of heat takes place from one part to another. This happens through the process of advection.
