True or false: Wind is caused by the movement of air from high pressure regions to low pressure regions?
False
True or false: Wind is primarily caused by the heating of the earth's surface creating air pressure differences?
True
True or false: The differential heating of the earth's surface creates air pressure differences, which in turn causes wind?
True
True or false: Land-sea breezes blow from onshore (sea-to-land) during the day and offshore (land-to-sea) during the night?
True
True or false: Land-sea breezes are primarily caused by the differential heating of land and water surfaces?
True
True or false: Land-sea breezes are a type of local wind phenomenon?
True
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).
