what is the reason for the seasons 

tilt of the earth on the axis

Why does the warmer air rise and the cooler air fall to form convection currents?
Warmer air is less dense so it rises and cooler air is more dense so it falls
200
Where do continental air masses form?
Over land

What is humidity?
the amount of water vapor in the air
200
What is radiation?
the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves
