Land Breezes Happens at night Happens because water holds heat longer than land Air is warmed by the ocean and rises which allows cool air over the land to move out to the ocean. Sea Breezes Happens during the day Happens because land heats up faster than water Air is warmed by the land and rises which allows cool air over the ocean to move over the land True or False True The Coriolis Effect is due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. Winds in the Northern Hemisphere curve to the right. Warm air is less dense. Winds in the Southern Hemisphere curve to the left. False Winds move from low pressure areas to high pressure areas. Cold air creates low pressure areas. Matching Coriolis Effect Global Winds Local Winds Local Winds Create a Local Winds Model using the space below.
