Front

What is a sea breeze?

Back

A sea breeze is a cool breeze that blows from the sea to the land during the daytime due to the temperature difference between the land and the sea.

Front

What time of day does a sea breeze typically form?

Back

A sea breeze typically forms during the daytime.

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat by the movement of currents in fluids (liquids and gases).

Front

How does convection transfer heat?

Back

Convection transfers heat by the movement of fluid, where warmer, less dense fluid rises and cooler, denser fluid sinks.

Front

What is wind?

Back

Wind is the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.

Front

What causes wind?

Back

Wind is caused mainly by air pressure differences that result from uneven heating of the Earth's atmosphere.

Front

What is the difference between conduction and convection?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact, while convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids.

Front

What is the role of air pressure in wind formation?

Back

Air pressure differences create wind as air moves from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas.

Front

What is a land breeze?

Back

A land breeze is a cool breeze that blows from the land to the sea during the nighttime due to the temperature difference between the land and the sea.

Front

When does a land breeze typically occur?

Back

A land breeze typically occurs at night.
