Question
- at what time of day do land breezes occur?
a. daytime
b. nighttime
c. it varies
d. anytime
Brief Explanations
Land breezes occur at night. During nighttime, the land cools faster than the ocean. The air above the ocean is warmer and rises, creating a low - pressure area over the ocean. The cooler, denser air over the land then flows towards the ocean, forming the land breeze. Daytime is when sea breezes occur (air flows from sea to land as land heats up faster). So land breezes are a nighttime phenomenon.
