Back

A sea breeze is a wind that blows from the sea towards the land, typically occurring during the day when the land heats up faster than the sea.

Front

What causes a sea breeze?

Back

A sea breeze is caused by the difference in temperature between the land and the sea, leading to differences in air pressure.

What direction does the wind blow during a sea breeze?

Back

The wind blows from the sea to the land.

Front

What factors affect the strength of a sea breeze?

Back

The strength of a sea breeze depends on the difference between the temperature of the sea and the land.

What is the primary source of energy that creates winds?

Back

The primary source of energy that creates winds is the sun.

Front

Why does warm air rise?

Back

Warm air rises because it is less dense than cooler air.

Front

What happens to air pressure when air is heated?

Back

When air is heated, it expands and becomes less dense, leading to lower air pressure.

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the process of heat transfer through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases), where warmer, less dense areas rise and cooler, denser areas sink.
