1. in land breeze air currents move from (land, water) to (land, water)
2. coastal areas receive more rain and thunderstorms than the inland because of (evaporation, air pressure) filling up clouds.
3. where can you find more vegetation (near the shoreline, mountainside)?
4. what is the coriolis effect? (read the paragraph at the top of the page)

Explanation:

1. Land breezes occur at night when land cools faster than water, creating higher pressure over land, so air moves from land to water.
2. Coastal areas have more evaporation from nearby water, which adds moisture to air, forming clouds that produce rain/thunderstorms.
3. Mountainsides (windward slopes) receive more precipitation, supporting more vegetation than shorelines which have drier, salt-exposed conditions.
4. The Coriolis effect is a phenomenon caused by Earth's rotation that deflects moving air and water currents; it occurs globally, affecting large-scale winds and ocean currents, with a stronger effect near the poles and no effect at the equator.

Answer:

1. land; water
2. evaporation
3. Mountainside
4. The Coriolis effect is a deflection of moving air and water currents caused by the Earth's rotation, occurring across the globe (stronger near the poles, absent at the equator) that impacts large-scale atmospheric and oceanic motion.
