Multiple Choice

Why do land breezes occur at night?

• Land cools off slower than water, so the air above water is cooler.
• Water cools off faster than land, so the air above land is warmer.
• Land heats up slower than water, so the air stays cooler during the day.
• Water cools off slower than land, so the air above water is warmer.
