Question 2 • RMA FL-2001310-Earth/Space Science Semester 2

What is a land breeze?

Answer
A
air that travels in a curved path
B
air that blows at night over short distances
C
air that flows steadily in different directions
D
air that blows from the poles to the equator

Explanation

A land breeze is a local wind that blows from land toward the sea, usually at night. Land cools faster than water after sunset, so air moves from the cooler land toward the warmer air over the water. Thus, “air that blows at night over short distances” is the best choice.
