How are currents that form in heated air similar to currents that form in heated water?
Currents that form in heated air are similar to currents that form in warm water because heated air goes up and cold air goes down creating convection currents.
What conditions are necessary for a land breeze and a sea breeze to form?
Land breezes are created when the land is cooler than the water such as at night and the surface winds are very light. Sea breezes are created when the surface of the land is heated sufficiently to start air rising and as it rises it is replaced by air from the sea.
What heats and cools more rapidly land or water?
Land. This difference in heat conduction results in seaside winds - in the morning, the land has heated more quickly and has higher pressure air above it, making the air travle to lower pressure above the sea. In the evening, the land has cooled more quickly and has lower pressure air above it, making the air above the sea travel towards the land.
What do you think happens to the air above the land when it is heated?
when land is heated, the air above it also gets heated, which makes it to start rising. This is due to the fact dat hot air is lighter dan cold one. this gives rise to a phenomenon nwn as convection current. this is the reason of presence of moderate climate in coastal areas.
How does convection cause sea breezes at the sea side?
During the day, the land by the sea is heated by the sun. Through convection, this heated air rises upward and then in order to replace this heated air, cooler air is drawn from the surface of the sea, creating a sea breeze.
How does the sunlight warm the land air and water?
Land and sea are heated by absorbing radiant energy from the sun. Air is heated indirectly by being in contact (conduction) with land or water.
What is movement of air from sea to land during day when cooler air from above the the water moves over the land forcing heated less dense air above to rise is called?
Land Breeze
How are currents that form in heated air similar to currents that form in heated water?
Currents that form in heated air are similar to currents that form in warm water because heated air goes up and cold air goes down creating convection currents.
What are 4 convections?
the air being heated from a fireplace,air from a furnace,boiling water,the air being heated in a hot air balloon.

When the land gets hot it heats the air above it the heated air rises because it?
because its evaporating
How is the air heated in the energy cycle?
Air may be heated using steam, hot water, electrical resistance, warmer air, the warm earth, or a furnace.
What happens to air molecules when air is heated.?
the hot-air molecules bang on each other harder.
What happens to air molecules air is heated?

How is matter heated by conduction?
it is heated when cold air meets and cools down hot air and freezes water so it turns to ice
How does water go into the air?
If water is heated to a certain temperature, it evaporates. When water evaporates, it...I guess you could say..."go into the air".
