Practicing Success
In coastal areas, during the night, wind blows from land to sea because: |
low pressure is created on land land cools slower than water water cools slower than land high pressure is created at sea |
water cools slower than land |
The correct answer is Option (3) → water cools slower than land At night both land and sea cool down but water cools slower than land. The air above the water is warmer than the air above the land surface, and it rises up creating a region of low pressure above sea. So, wind current moves from the land towards sea during night. |
