Question
the afternoon, sea breezes usually form as winds blow toward land. which condition most likely causes a sea breeze to occur in the afternoon? a temperature difference between the land and the water a thunderstorm forming over the land a rise in pressure over the land and water a wind blowing from the land toward the sea
Sea breezes occur due to the difference in heat absorption and release rates between land and water. Land heats up faster than water in the afternoon. The warm air over land rises, creating a low - pressure area. Cooler air from the sea (higher pressure) moves in to replace the rising warm air, forming a sea breeze. This phenomenon is primarily driven by the temperature difference between land and water.
