Sea Breezes and Land Breezes - pd 2

Understand sea breezes and land breezes! Learn about pressure and heating.

1. Discuss the different surfaces on Earth and how they heat up differently. (Hint: there are 2 surfaces we talked about) 5. Sea breeze and land breezes Pay attention to where there is high pressure and where there is low pressure and how the air is moving. Land breeze air moving from land to over the sea occurs at night Sea Breeze air moving from the sea to over the land occurs during the day 6. Label the following diagram: Possible labels: (you will not use all words for the picture) Sea breeze Land breeze High pressure Low pressure Daytime Nighttime Land breeze High pressure Low pressure Nighttime 7. Label the diagram. Possible labels: (you will not use all words for the picture) Sea breeze Land breeze High pressure Low pressure Daytime Nighttime daytime Low pressure high pressure Sea breeze 8. Fill in the blanks to the following sentences. During the night at the beach, the land cools down faster than the ocean. Because of this, the air over the land is cooler than the air over the ocean. The less dense air rises over ocean and the cooler, more dense air blows in from over the land creating a land breeze.During the day at the beach, the land heats up faster than the ocean. Because of this, the air over the land is warmer than the air over the ocean. There is high air pressure over the ocean. The low pressure air over the land rises and the cooler, more dense air blows in from the sea, creating a sea breeze. 9. Local winds happen over: long distances short distances both long and short distances 10. Winds are caused by: the unequal heating of Earth's surfaces Weather systems the rotation of the Earth on its axis birds 11. Which of the following are true about sea breezes? occur during the day they blow from sea to the land they occur because the land is heating faster than the water the air above the water is cooler and blows towards the land to take the place of the rising warm air all of the above 12. Cooler air is _ dense and creates an area of _ pressure. more, lower more, higher less, lower less, higher 13. Warmer air is _ dense and creates an area of _ pressure. more, lower more, higher less, lower less, higher 14. What is wrong with the following picture? (HINT: Notice that it is daytime) Convection Currents To mark a word click its first letter then click its last.
