- Q1is the movement of air caused by differences in air pressureWind30s
- Q2caused by the unequal heating of the Earth.Air Pressure Differences30s
- Q3Warm less dense air rising. Has what type of pressure?Low Pressure Area (L)30s
- Q4Cool more dense air sinkingHigh Pressure Area (H)30s
- Q5During the day the land heats up faster than the water. The air over the land is warm (L) and the air of the water (ocean) is cold (H) and the air moves from the ocean to the land.Sea Breeze30s
- Q6At night the land cools off faster than water. Cool air over land (High Pressure) displaces Warm air over water (Low Pressure)- Air moves from the land to the water (ocean).Land Breeze30s
