What kind of breeze is this & what time of day/night would it form?

• Land breeze - daytime
• Land breeze - nighttime
• Sea breeze - daytime
• Sea breeze - nighttime

What causes global winds and convection in the atmosphere? 

• continental deflection
• the rotation of the Earth
• Moon's gravity
• unequal heating of the Earth by the sun

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.

During the day, warm air rises over the land then cools and falls over water in a continuous cycle.

• Land breeze
• Sea breeze

Even on a very cool day, the plants inside this greenhouse stay warm if the Sun is shining. How does heat energy flow going into the greenhouse?

• circulation

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

Which of the following is an example of conduction?

• electromagnetic radiation transfers energy from the sun to Earth

• warmer air is pushed upward and out of the way by cooler air

• cooler air molecules come in contact with warm ground, causing energy to be passed to the air

• dense water sinks to the ocean floor and less dense water moves to the ocean surface

The following diagram shows how warm water and cool water move in the ocean. Which process does the diagram show?

• absorption

• conduction

• radiation

• convection
