Onshore breeze is known as ??
Sea Breeze
a naturally occurring climate pattern characterized by warmer-than-average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean
El Nino
What type of current is most likely found in the deeper ocean depths, and why?
a. A warm current; warm water heated by the Sun is more dense than cold water and sinks.
b. A warm current; warm water heated by the Sun is less dense than cold water and rises.
c.A cold current; cold water is more dense than warm water and sinks.
d. A cold current; cold water is less dense than warm water and rises.
c
Land heats and cools _________ than sea.
What is a land breeze?
A breeze that flows towards the sea from land at night when the land cools faster than the sea.
What direction does a sea breeze flow?
From the sea towards the land.
the natural movement of air or other gases [0.5] across a planet's surface
wind
Convection
What is the main cause of land and sea breezes?
Unequal heating rates of land and sea.
What is a sea breeze?
A breeze that flows from the sea to the land during the day due to unequal heating between land and water.
What provides heat energy to the sea and land?
Sun
the transition zone or boundary separating two distinct air masses with different temperatures, densities, and humidity levels.
Weather Front

Southern counterclockwise
Air moves from ______ to _____ pressure?
Cold air is ________ than warm air.
heavier more dense
Sea breeze and land breeze are examples of
local winds
High-speed winds 10 Kilometers above Earths surface.
Jet Stream
