Practicing Success
Consider the following statements : 1. In the coastal regions, the land breeze blows over to the sea during the day. 2. In the coastal regions, during the day, the air over the sea is warmer than the air over land. Which of the statements given above is/are correct? |
Both 1 and 2 Only 1 Only 2 None of the above |
None of the above |
During the night, the land cools down faster as compared to water while creating a high-pressure region over land and resulting in a low-pressure zone above seawater. The air above the water is comparatively warmer and rises up, thus creating space for cool wind over land to move in towards the sea. Thus, the land breeze blows during the night. Further, during the day, the air over sea is cooler in comparison to air on land. This results in the blowing of sea breeze during the day time in coastal regions. |
