What happens to air at the beach during the day?

Back

The warm air rises, and cool air from the ocean moves in to replace it, creating a sea breeze.

A cold front is a boundary where a cold air mass pushes into a warmer air mass, often leading to storms.

Front

What causes wind?

Back

Wind is caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface, which creates differences in air pressure.

Front

What is air pressure?

Back

Air pressure is the force exerted by the weight of air above a surface; it can change with weather conditions.

Front

What is the water cycle?

Back

The water cycle is the continuous movement of water through evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.

What is a sea breeze?

Back

A sea breeze is a wind that blows from the ocean to the land, typically occurring during the day.

Front

What is the role of sunlight in weather?

Back

Sunlight heats the Earth's surface unevenly, influencing temperature, air pressure, and wind patterns.

Front

What is transpiration?

Back

Transpiration is the process by which plants release water vapor into the air from their leaves.
