Question
Why does air move from the ocean to the land during a sea breeze?
Answers
GPT 3.5
Air moves from the ocean to the land during a sea breeze because of the temperature and pressure differences between the two areas. During the day, the land heats up more quickly than the water, causing the air above the land to become warmer and less dense. This creates lower pressure over the land.
In contrast, the water retains its temperature more effectively and remains cooler than the land. The cooler air above the water is denser and creates higher pressure over the ocean.
The difference in pressure between the land and the water causes air to flow from the higher pressure area (the ocean) to the lower pressure area (the land). This movement of air is what creates a sea breeze, bringing cooler air from the ocean to the warmer land.
