Winds

Question 21 • TX-Earth Systems A

What happens during a land breeze?

Answer
A
Wind flows primarily during the day.
B
Wind blows from poles toward the equator.
C
Wind is created the same way as during a sea breeze.
D
Wind moves because air above land is cooler than air above water.

Explanation

At night, land cools faster than water, so the air above land becomes cooler and denser than the air above the water. That air flows from land toward the warmer water, creating a land breeze; this matches “wind moves because air above land is cooler than air above water.”
