Question
which blow over long distances?
○ trade winds
○ local winds
○ land breezes
○ sea breezes
Trade winds are prevailing winds that blow steadily from east to west over long distances near the equator. Local winds (like land breezes and sea breezes) are caused by local temperature and pressure differences and blow over short distances. Land breezes occur at night when land cools faster than water, and air moves from land to sea. Sea breezes occur during the day when land heats up faster than water, and air moves from sea to land. These are local - scale wind systems.
