8.10A Practice

Front

What creates the wind patterns at the shore during the day and night?

Back

The air above the land heats up and cools off more quickly than the air over the water.

Front

What is the source of energy that generates wind?

Back

Solar radiation.

Front

How does the air move in a sea breeze?

Back

Wind moves from the ocean to the land.

Front

In a sea breeze, where is the air warmer?

Back

Above the land.

Front

What stage causes water vapor to cool into water droplets, forming clouds?

Back

Condensation.

Front

What is a sea breeze?

Back

A sea breeze is a wind that blows from the ocean to the land, typically occurring during the day.

Front

What is the role of solar radiation in wind formation?

Back

Solar radiation heats the Earth's surface, causing differences in air temperature and pressure, which generates wind.

Front

What happens to air pressure during a sea breeze?

Back

Air pressure is lower over the warmer land compared to the cooler ocean, causing air to move from the ocean to the land.

Front

What is the difference between sea breeze and land breeze?

Back

A sea breeze occurs during the day when air moves from the ocean to the land, while a land breeze occurs at night when air moves from the land to the ocean.

Front

What is condensation in the water cycle?

Back

Condensation is the process where water vapor cools and changes into liquid water, forming clouds.
