What is a sea breeze?

Back

A sea breeze is a wind that originates from the sea and blows towards the land, typically occurring during the day when the land heats up faster than the sea.

Front

What is a land breeze?

Back

A land breeze is a wind that originates from the land and blows towards the sea, usually occurring at night when the land cools down faster than the sea.

Front

What direction does wind move in relation to pressure?

Back

Wind moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.

Front

What is radiation in terms of heat transfer?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as sunlight warming the sand on a beach.

Front

What causes a sea breeze during the day?

Back

A sea breeze is caused by the differential heating of land and water; the land heats up quickly, creating low pressure, while the sea remains cooler, creating high pressure.

Front

What causes a land breeze at night?

Back

A land breeze occurs at night when the land cools down faster than the sea, leading to higher pressure over the land and lower pressure over the sea.

Front

What is the role of pressure in wind movement?

Back

Pressure differences in the atmosphere drive wind movement, with air moving from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas.

Front

How does temperature affect sea and land breezes?

Back

Temperature differences between land and sea create pressure differences, which result in sea breezes during the day and land breezes at night.

Front

What is the effect of a sea breeze on coastal temperatures?

Back

A sea breeze can lower coastal temperatures during the day by bringing cooler air from the sea.

Front

What is the effect of a land breeze on coastal temperatures?

Back

A land breeze can raise coastal temperatures at night by bringing warmer air from the land.
