• At night when the land cools down faster than the ocean.

• In the early morning when the sun rises.

• In the afternoon when the ocean is warmer than the land.

What is the effect of land breezes on coastal temperatures?

• Land breezes can lead to warmer temperatures over the ocean at night.

• Land breezes can lead to cooler temperatures over the ocean at night.

• Land breezes have no effect on coastal temperatures.

• Land breezes can increase humidity over the ocean at night.

Can sea and land breezes affect sailing conditions?

• No, they have no impact on sailing conditions.

• Yes, they can create favorable or unfavorable sailing conditions depending on their strength and direction.

• Only land breezes affect sailing conditions, not sea breezes.

• Sea breezes are always favorable for sailing, while land breezes are not.

What is the effect of sea breezes on coastal temperatures?

• Sea breezes help to warm coastal areas during hot days.

• Sea breezes have no effect on coastal temperatures.

• Sea breezes help to cool coastal areas during hot days.

• Sea breezes increase humidity in coastal areas.

What happens to air temperature during a land breeze?

• The air above the ocean is cooler than the air above the land.

• The air above the ocean is warmer than the air above the land.

• The air temperature remains constant over both land and ocean.

• The air above the land is warmer than the air above the ocean.

How do land breezes affect local weather?

• Land breezes can lead to clearer skies and drier conditions over the ocean.

• Land breezes cause increased humidity and cloud formation over the land.

• Land breezes result in stronger winds and stormy weather conditions.

Define wind.

• Wind is the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.

• Wind is the stillness of air in a given area.

• Wind is the temperature difference between two regions.

How do sea breezes affect local weather?

• They cause a decrease in temperature and humidity.

• They lead to increased humidity and cloud formation over land.

• They have no effect on local weather patterns.

• They create strong winds that dry out the land.

What causes a land breeze?

• A land breeze occurs during the day when the land heats up faster than the ocean.

• A land breeze occurs at night when the land cools down faster than the ocean, resulting in higher pressure over the land and lower pressure over the ocean.

• A land breeze is caused by the movement of warm air from the ocean to the land.

• A land breeze occurs when the ocean cools down faster than the land, creating a pressure difference.

What is a sea breeze?

• A warm wind that blows from the land to the ocean at night.

• A cool wind that blows from the ocean to the land during the day.
