Question

what happens during a land breeze?
wind flows primarily during the day.
wind blows from poles toward the equator.
wind is created the same way as during a sea breeze.
wind moves because air above land is cooler than air above water.

Explanation:

• Land breeze occurs at night. During the day, land heats up faster than water (sea breeze). At night, land cools down faster. The air above land becomes cooler (more dense) than the air above water. Cooler (denser) air moves towards the warmer (less dense) air over water.
• Sea - breeze is day - time phenomenon (land heats up, air over land rises, cooler air from sea moves in). Land - breeze is opposite (based on temperature difference between land and water at night).
• Wind from poles to equator is related to global wind patterns (not land - breeze).

Answer:

Wind moves because air above land is cooler than air above water.
