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.

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 takes place when two areas of land are heated unevenly?
convection
What is land above sea level called?
Land above sea level could be anything from flat lands to a plateau. It depends on the location of the sea and land.
What happens when two land plates collide?
An earthquake happens.
Why does the water temperature change less than the land temperature?
Water is able to move (unlike the land's surface), and it can be mixed when it is heated. This mixing can cause the heat that's transferred to the water to be averaged with the rest of the water, which isn't being heated. If you were to dig deep enough into the land's surface, you would find that the temperature of the land changes very little far below the surface.
Is the land heated by convection?
I think the land is heated by radiation
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
When the land gets hot it heats the air above it the heated air rises because it?
because its evaporating
What happens when land gets hot?
Multiple things, conduction, convection, but the most important is radiation into space at night.

What happens when warm air rises above the land coming off of an ocean front?
Gbb b
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.
How land and water are heated?
by the sun rays
When the land or oceans are heated unevenly what forms?
When the land or oceans are heated unevenly it causes wind to form from either land to sea, or sea to land. These are a common event that occur daily near bodies of water.
What is land rising high above the land around it called?
mountains, hills, volcanoes... Think high
Are land and water heated by sun heat?
yes
What takes place when two areas of land are heated unevenly?
convection
