Study Notes
Wind Formation
- Wind is caused by differential heating of the Earth's surface, resulting in air pressure differences.
- Air moves from low-pressure regions to high-pressure regions due to these differences.
Land-Sea Breezes
- Land-Sea breezes change direction between day and night.
- During the day, they blow from the sea to the land (onshore).
- At night, they blow from the land to the sea (offshore).
