What is wind
100
As warm air from the water rises, cool air from the land moves toward the water to replace it.
What is a land breeze?
100
These bring changes in weather

200
Flows from sea to land
What is a sea breeze
200
The result of giant convection currents that circulate within the Northern and Southern Hemispheres
What are global winds?
200
A moving warm air mass overrides a cold air mass ahead of it.
