An illustration of how a convection current creates a wind, called a sea breeze, is provided. Which of the following best explains what creates this convection current?
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.
