The air over Earth’s surfaces absorbs heat from the materials of Earth. In Section 3 of the experiment, the air over the sand [___] the air over the water because sand [___] water. This difference in temperatures makes the air over the sand [___] the air over the water so it rises. The air above the water takes the place of the air above the sand. This movement of air creates a sea breeze.
C
has the same temperature asSand warms up more quickly than water, so the air above the sand becomes warmer than the air above the water. The warmer air rises, and cooler air over the water moves in to take its place, creating a sea breeze. Thus, “is warmer than” fits all three blanks.
