If a car is travelling at 10 km/h in the same direction as the ship that is travelling at 90 km/h, then the car's apparent velocity with regard to the ocean is just 10 + 90 = 100 km/h.

Does pressure treated wood mean its treated all the way through the wood or just on the surface?

The pressure drives the preservative through all of the wood. Once in use, over many years, sun and rain (or water) will leach out the preservative from the outside in.

Why does air flow from water to land during the day?

The sun more quickly heats the surface of the land during the daytime than that of the water. The reason for this is that the surface of the water has a much higher effective heat capacity (amount of temperature change for a given unit of heat imparted) than land. This contrast in surface temperatures causes the air column over land to expand, consequently an upper level pressure gradient to develop (high over land at altitude vs low over the water) and flow at altitude from land to ocean. This movement of air out of the land air column and towards the water air column causes a surface pressure gradient to develop, with a surface level high pressure over water and a surface level low over the land. This gradient drives the daytime "see breeze" flow of surface level air from the water to the land. It's actually part of a cell that develops that can be thought of as a roll laying parallel to the shore, going up over land, out to sea at height, down over the sea, and towards land at the surface.

Does it make a difference in coverage on your policy if a resident relative has their own car insurance?

If the resident relative has their own car insurance, this resident relative should not also be covered on your policy. If this resident relative drives your car more than on occasion, then, he/she should be on your policy as well.
