Solar energy does not warm Earth’s surface evenly. For example, during the day, land areas warm up faster than nearby bodies of water. How does this uneven warming affect the movement of air over land and water?
The cooler, denser air above the water flows toward the warmer, less dense air above the land, causing a sea breeze.
The warmer, less dense air above the land flows toward the cooler, denser air above the water, causing a land breeze.
The cooler air over the water would absorb water vapor and rise, resulting in rainy conditions over the shoreline.
The warmer air over the land would transfer energy to the cooler air by conduction, leading to a uniform air temperature.
