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 Move items to the correct category. Mountain Breezes During the night the slopes of a mountain cool and the dense air descends into the valley. Happens because land loses heat quickly at night. Valley Breezes During the day, the sun heats up the mountain slopes and the air rises while the valley air is cooler and moves up the slope into the low pressure area. Happens because land absorbs radiation during the day. 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. There are two jet streams in each hemisphere. Monsoons cause rainy summers Warm air is less dense. Winds in the Southern Hemisphere curve to the left. False The Jet Stream is wind that is low in the Troposphere. Monsoons cause rainy winters Winds move from low pressure areas to high pressure areas. Cold air creates low pressure areas.
