What happens to air over hot surfaces?
It moves faster and rises
What is a huge flow of water that rises and spreads over the land?
A flood.
How does sea breezes work?
During the day the land heats up due to the sun. This warms the air over the land. The air rises, as it is now lighter. As the air over the land rises, cooler air over the sea, rushes in to take it's place.
Sea and land breeze are caused because?
Land breezes occur at night. The land is cooler than the water at night, so the warm air over the water rises and the cool air moves in over the water to replace it. It then warms and rises again. This happens over and over again throughout the night. Sea breezes are the opposites of land breezes. They happen during the day, so the water is cooler than the land. The warm air over the land rises and the cold air moves in to replace it. Then, like the land breezes, the cold air gets warmed and rises and the cold air over the water takes its spot. It is a continuous cycle throughout the day. The reason land is warmer during the day is because soil heats faster than water. However, it is cooler at night because water holds its heat longer than soil.
Which happens during the night beach?
the water is cooler then the land, and air sinks over the water. (apex verified) i picked this on aped, and it was correct.
The sun rises over the eastern what?
The land or ocean features would vary depending upon where you are, but one could safely say it rises over the eastern horizon.
What occurs when water rises over the banks or sides of a river?
The surrounding land will become flooded.
What happens when hurricanes form over land?
Nothing. Hurricanes can't form over land.
Why does land breeze occur at nightime?
Because the land cools down faster than the sea at night, so warm air over the sea rises, 'sucking' the surface air out from over the land.
What do you call it when warm air over land rises and cool air from water moves in?
A sea breeze
What are cool breeze during the day cause by differences in heating and cooling rates of land and water?
Think about it this way - warm air rises. When air is over a warm surface, it will heat up and rise. Also remember this - water holds on to heat or cold longer than solids (like rock) do. Therefore, the land will heat and cool faster than the water will. So, picture this: In the morning time, everything starts to heat up because of the sun's rays. The land heats up faster. So the air over the land rises. As the air rises and rises, it begins to get cooler, until it sinks. This whole process creates a cycle of wind above the land and sea. The air drops on to the cold ocean, moves on to the land to replace the air that has risen (this causes the breeze) and then heats up and rises. The cycle continues, creating cool breezes from the ocean. The same happens at nighttime, but in reverse. The ocean is now warmer, because it is holding on to the heat from the day. The air sinks on to the cold land, and as the air over the ocean rises, the cool air on land rushes to replace it (causing a warm breeze out to sea). That air then rises and begins the cycle again.
