Question 22 • (25-26) Dally -- Earth and Space Science 4th 9 Weeks BLDG

Which causes a sea breeze?

Answer
A
Air temperatures are cooler than normal.
B
Air flows from the poles toward the equator.
C
Air blows over long distances at different speeds.
D
Air above land warms quicker than air over water.

Explanation

Land heats up faster than water during the day, so the air above land warms and rises. Cooler, denser air over the water then moves toward the land to replace it, creating a sea breeze. Therefore, the correct choice is “Air above land warms quicker than air over water.”
