Question 88
During the day, the Sun heats up both the land and the ocean. However, land surfaces heat up more quickly than the ocean because they require less thermal energy to increase their temperature. This temperature difference causes a sea breeze to develop (Figure 10.34).
At night, land loses thermal energy in the form of heat much more quickly than the ocean. This causes the land breeze to occur (Figure 10.35).
In Figures 10.34 and 10.35, what do you notice about the directions of winds of the sea breeze and land breeze?
