Question

which sentence best describes why the air is moving the way it is in the picture? a. there is high pressure over the land and low pressure over the water, and air always moves from high to low pressure. b. there is high pressure over the land and low pressure over the water, and air always moves from low to high pressure. c. there is low pressure over the land and high pressure over the water, and air always moves from high to low pressure. d. there is low pressure over the land and high pressure over the water, and air always moves from low to high pressure.

Explanation:

Air moves from areas of high - pressure to areas of low - pressure. At night, the land cools faster than the water. So, there is high pressure over the land and low pressure over the water, causing air to move from the land (high pressure) to the water (low pressure).

Answer:

A. There is high pressure over the land and low pressure over the water, and air always moves from high to low pressure.
