Q195

The Sea breeze blows during ________

A.
Day from land to sea
B.
Day from sea to land
Answer
C.
Night from land to sea
D.
Night from sea to land

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
During the day, the sun heats up both the ocean surface and the land. The wind will blow from the higher pressure over the water to lower pressure over the land causing the sea breeze. The sea breeze strength will vary depending on the temperature difference between the land and the ocean. At night, the roles reverse.
