what do the arrows indicate?
○ air moves in a direction that creates land breezes.
○ air above land warms faster than air above water.
○ air blows over long distances in a continual straight
path.
○ air pressure remains the same while cycling over
land and water.

Explanation:

• Land breezes occur when cooler air over the land (which cools faster than water at night) moves towards the warmer air over the water. The arrows show the direction of air movement which is characteristic of land - breeze formation.
• Air above water warms and cools slower than air above land (not the other way around as in the second option).
• Air does not blow in a continual straight path over long distances (due to factors like the Coriolis effect, so the third option is wrong).
• Air pressure changes during these circulations (so the fourth option is incorrect).

Answer:

Air moves in a direction that creates land breezes.
