Question 12 • PA-Science 8 Q1

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. The cooler, denser air over the land flows offshore toward the relatively warmer air over the water. This is called a land breeze, so the correct choice is “Cool air over the land moves offshore.”
