• Salt in the ocean makes it more dense than the land, so its gravity pulls more on the air above it.

• During the day, the Sun’s energy heats up the land faster, which makes the air above it warmer.

• The rotation of Earth makes the air above it rotate, but not the same over land and water.

• During the day, Earth’s gravity creates a high pressure area over both the land and water.
