Convection
Transfer of thermal energy through circular motion caused by heating and cooling of fluids (liquids/gases)
The movement of air as a result of Earths rotation. (Northern Hemisphere it curves to the right)
The breeze that blows from the land toward the sea after the sunset. The land cools more quickly than the ocean cooling the air above it. The warmer air above the water continues to rise and the cooler air from over the land replaces it creating a breeze.
the breeze that blows from the sea toward the land during the day as air rising over the warmer land is replaced by cooler air from above the sea.
