The air "shimmers" or "waves" when a lot of heat rises off of a surface. This can also be seen on cars and on the roofs of houses. Sometimes, it is made visible by steam or smoke, but on a hot summer day, these gasses are not present to trace the heat waves.

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 would local winds be if water and land absorbed and release heat at the same rate?
During the day, air above land becomes warmer than air above water.This is a sea breeze.At night, cooler air on land cause a higher-pressure zone over the land.This is a land breeze.
Why do land breezes occur during the night?
warm air rises over the ocean & cooler air flows in producing a wind
Does real property also include the air space above the land?
Yes. You can read more about air rights at the link provided below.
How do differences in temperature in different places on the land affect the way the wind blows?
Cold air is dense and Warm air is less dense. Thus if the land is warm it heats the air above it and this air rises (like a helium balloon) because it is less dense. This means that air has got to flow in to replace it. Therefore wind bows in towards land areas that are warm.
Why is the air above the land shimmering on a hot and sunny day?
On a hot summer day, the vapourcoming out of the soil reflect the sunlightand the air above the soil seems toshimmer.This is why the air above the land seems to shimmer.
What part of speech is shimmering?
"shimmering " is either a present active participle or a gerund. As a particple: The shimmering waves sparkled in the moonlight. As a gerund: Shimmering can be produced by hot air rising from the pavement.
When do sea breeze and land breezes occure?
Sea breeze A sea breeze blows from the sea toward land. During the day the air above the land is warmer than the air above the water. The air rises creating low pressure at the surface of the land . The air above the water moves toward the land. Land breeze A land breeze blows from the land toward the sea. At night the water is warmer than the land. The air above the land is cooler, so it sinks. This creates high pressure at the surface of the land. The air above the land moves toward the water.
Why does see breezes occur during day but not night?
Sea breezes occur during hot, summer days because of the unequal heating rates of land and water. During the day, the land surface heats up faster than the water surface. Therefore, the air above the land is warmer than the air above the ocean. Now, recall that warmer air is lighter than cooler air.
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
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.
Why does the wind change direction?
During the day, the sun shines on the water and land and warms them both. Since land gets warmer than water faster, it heats the air above it. As the warm air above land rises, the cold air above the water replaces the warm air. The movement of air from water to land is called sea breeze. As night falls, both the land and water begins to cool down. Once again, land cools faster than water. Now, the air above the water is warmer than the air above the land. The air above the water rises. The cooler air from the land moves to the water to replace the rising warm air. During the morning, you will feel the wind blowing to the ocean to land. At evening, you will feel the wind blowing from the land to ocean. At night, you feel the wind blowing from the ocean to land.
Near the shore winds tend to blow toward the land during the day what drives this process?
Warm air above the land rises and is replaced by cooler air from the water, causing a convection current. Just got this from apex!
How are air masses above dallas different during winter compared to summer?
ANSWER
What is a flow of air from the sea to the land?
It is an on-shore breeze.
What effect does a lake have on the weather during the summer?
A effect that a lake have on the weather during summer is that it brings cool air on the land.
How would local winds be if water and land absorbed and release heat at the same rate?
During the day, air above land becomes warmer than air above water.This is a sea breeze.At night, cooler air on land cause a higher-pressure zone over the land.This is a land breeze.
