Red
How many air pressures are there?
Two (High and Low)
Thermal Energy moves from?
From Hot to Cold
What is a land breeze?
Breeze coming from the land.
What causes ocean currents to occur?
Solar radiation - which cause convection
What weather would warm fronts bring?
Dry, sunny skies.
What would be seen if low-pressured area had come to Katy, TX?
Cloudy skies (or rain)
What are the three kinds of Heat Transfer?
Conduction, Convection, Radiation
What is a sea breeze?

A cold wind demonstrates what form of heat transfer?
Convection
What breeze brings breeze from the land to sea?
A Land breeze.
Low winds, warm water, moist air (high moisture/low pressure)
In the Northern Hemisphere, this effect causes all our winds and water to move the the right.
