question #2
which diagram represents the convection currents that form a land breeze?
a
b
c
d
A land breeze occurs at night (indicated by the moon). At night, land cools faster than water, so air over land sinks, creating high pressure, while air over warmer water rises, creating low pressure. Wind blows from land (high pressure) to water at the surface, and the upper air flows from water to land to complete the convection current. Diagram A shows nighttime, surface wind moving from land to water, and the correct upper air flow to close the current.
