Hot, less-dense air rises.
That would be "convection" cycle, and one of the steps is hot (therefore lighter) air rising.

In which Step of the water cycle does most of Earth's water enter the atmosphere?
evaporation
what step in the water cycle is water released from plants into the atmosphere?
It is the first step. Water is evaporated from plants.
What step is not part of the convection cycle?
Cooked air rises creating a high pressure system below
What step is not part of the normal convection cycle?
Cooked air rises creating a high pressure system below
What step caused an aerobic atmosphere during the history of earth?
The origin of photosynthetic prokaryotes caused an aerobic atmosphere during the history of the earth.
Which step in water cycle involves returning of fresh water to the earth?
percipitation!
. Which step in the water cycle involves returning of fresh water to the Earth?
percipitation!
How does the energy from the sun affect earth's water cycle?
Energy from sun supports evaporation. It is 1st step of water cycle.
What process of the water cycle involves storage of energy in the water vapor in the atmosphere?
Condensation involves storage of energy in vapor state. It is the 2nd step of water cycle.
What would be the most likely next step for a rock on the surface of the earth in the rock cycle?
Metamorphism?
Where does the the heat come from that causes the convection of the earth?
Although year-to-year variations arise from thermal energy differences and other contributors such as tectonic uplift, the basic climatological structure of atmospheric circulation on the global scale remains at near-equilibrium conditions, as does the energy cycle through the Earth. Thus, the energy driving convection in the atmosphere was not created in isolation and does not act alone. Rather, Earth's energy cycle is a connected chain of energy transactions that is continuously running and driving downstream processes. Starting from the conversion of incoming solar flux into surface heat, geothermal energy, tidal energy, etc., each energy-requiring process pushes the next step in the sequence, and convection of air in the atmosphere is one of the links in the connected chain that was driven by previous steps and will drive subsequent steps. Therefore, convection in the atmosphere is not driven by any immediately identifiable energy source (since all contributing energy also came from elsewhere), but as a step in the flow of energy throughout the Earth connects into an interwoven energy cycle at steady-state conditions that fuels water circulation, material flow, biological processes, so on and so forth. Similarly, the circulation of ocean water is the sum of contributing variables such as breaking waves, wind, Coriolis force, temperature and salinity differences, and tides caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun, all of which are processes driven by other upstream processes. The interconnected energy cycle continues to run at steady-state conditions, with the cause and effects of upstream energy transactions adding up to the circulation process of ocean water.
