The movement of air to a colder area in the atmosphere.
The movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
The movement of air pushed around and bouncing off Earth's surface.
The Coriolis effect causes ___________.

Which conditions are most likely to develop over a land area next to an ocean during a hot, summer afternoon?
The air pressure over the land is lower than the air pressure over the ocean, and a breeze blows from the ocean.
The air pressure over the land is higher than the air pressure over the ocean, and a breeze blows from the ocean.
The air temperature over the land is lower than the air pressure over the ocean, and a breeze blows from the land.
The air temperature over the land is higher than the air pressure over the ocean, and a breeze blows from the land.
During the warmest part of a June day, breezes from the ocean toward the shore at the beach. Which statement best explains why this happens?
Winds usually blow from hot to cold areas.
Winds never blow from the shore to the ocean.
Air pressure over the ocean is higher than air pressure over the land.
Air pressure over the land is higher than air pressure over the ocean.
A cool breeze is blowing toward the land from the ocean on a warm, cloudless summer day. This condition is most likely caused by
the air temperature being higher over than the land than over the ocean
a high-pressure system over the land
a hurricane approaching from the ocean
a cold front that is slowly approaching the land from the ocean
In the diagram, arrows represent air movement near a ocean coastline on a Summer afternoon.
Compared to the air over the ocean, the air over the land has a
lower temperature and lower barometric pressure
lower temperature and higher barometric pressure
higher temperature and lower barometric pressure
higher temperature and higher barometric pressure
Why are most beaches often considerably cooler than nearby inland locations on hot summer afternoons?
A land breeze develops due to the lower specific heat of water and the higher specific heat of land.
A sea breeze develops due to the higher specific heat of water and the lower specific heat of land.
The beaches are closer to the equator than the inland locations are.
The beaches are farther from the equator than the inland locations are.
Adjacent land and ocean surfaces have the same temperature at sunrise on a clear, calm, summer day. Then the land and water were heated by the Sun for several hours. Which cross section shows the most likely direction of surface winds that will develop at this ocean shore?

high, high
low, low
low, high
high, low
