Question

What happens during a land breeze?

Wind flows primarily during the day.
Wind blows from poles toward the equator.
Wind is created the same way as during a sea breeze.
Wind moves because air above land is cooler than air above water.

Answer 1

During a land breeze, wind blows from the land toward the sea. This phenomenon typically occurs at night when the land cools more quickly than the water. As the land loses heat, the air above it becomes cooler and denser than the air above the warmer water. The cooler, denser air over the land moves toward the warmer, less dense air over the water, creating a breeze.

Therefore, among the options you've provided, the statement that is most relevant to a land breeze is:

**Wind moves because air above land is cooler than air above water.**
