Please choose the correct answer:

Unequal heating! During the day (land/water) heats up faster! The air over the (land/water) becomes warmer than the other place's air. It (rises/falls), creating (low/high) air pressure. Cool air then blows from the (land/water), moving underneath the warm air.

Answer the Question:

Where is the air going to be cooler at night? (land/water)
Why?
Where will the low pressure area form?
Where will the cooler air come from to take it's place?
What air pressure (HP or CP) does the cooler air have?
When the breeze comes, what's it called?
Why?

If you could help me with this I would be very grateful. My study guide was only multiple choice and questions, (which I don't know the answer to), so I'll be studying with YOUR answers. Please be accurate and hurry! My test is tomorrow! Thank you SO much! :)

Dear Rose - During the day land heats up faster than the water. The air over the land warms and rises creating low pressure. Cool air from the water than blows in under the warm air. This is called a sea breeze because it comes in from the sea during the day, generally in the afternoon when the land has reached its max heating.

At night the land cools faster than the water. A reverse process is established and a land breeze forms with a breeze from land to sea. Cooler air always has a higher pressure. This land and sea breeze phenomena is not a deep layer phenomena and is only perhaps a 1 km or less deep.

I hope this helps. I hope you remember how the process I've described works and I hope you get a good grade tomorrow.

The air would be cooler at night in land away from the water because less warm breezes blow from a warmer than normal water temperature
