A student states the weather is the same as the climate. Which response BEST tells the student the difference between weather and climate?

• Weather is about the wind and the rain, but climate is about the clouds.

• Weather is the conditions in one day, but climate is the conditions over a long time.

• Weather is measured with tools like thermometers, but climate is measured with tools like forecasts.

• Weather is recorded on charts, but climate is recorded on world maps.

Land heats up faster during the day than water does. As the beach gets warm during the day, it heats the air above it. The warm air rises and cool air from the ocean is pulled in to replace it. So, air flows from the ocean to the land. At night, the land cools faster than the ocean. What MOST likely happens to the air at the beach at night?

• The air is still.

• The air moves along the coast.

• The air flows from the ocean to the land.

• The air flows from the land to the ocean.

Which best describes why winds at the beach change direction between day and night?
