Question

Choose one of the following:

Land breeze
Sea breeze
Coriolis effect

Answer 1

The correct answer is Sea Breeze. 

Answer 2

Answer: Sea breeze

Explanation:

• During hot summer days, there is unequal heating of land and water.

• The land heats up faster during the day and, the air above becomes warmer than above the ocean.

• Since the warm air is lighter than the cooler air, it rises up and, the cooler air from the ocean moves towards the land.

• This movement of air from the ocean to land is known as the sea breeze.
