Question 10 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC

What happens at night?

Answer
A
Cool air over the ocean moves onshore.
B
Cool air over the land moves offshore.
C
Warm air over the ocean moves onshore.
D
Warm air over the land moves offshore.

Explanation

At night, land cools faster than the ocean, so the air over land becomes cooler and denser. It flows from land toward the relatively warmer ocean, creating an offshore land breeze; this matches “Cool air over the land moves offshore.”
