Cool dense air near the sea moves inland toward warm dense areas during the day and sets up what?
A sea breeze and its nighttime counterpart, a land breeze, occur where the land meets the water. They exist because land and water absorb heat at different rates. Land heats up and cools down more quickly than water. During the day, solar radiation warms the air over land by conduction. The heated air becomes less dense and creates an imbalance of both temperature and pressure between the air over the land and the air over the water. You might suspect that something will happen to relieve this imbalance, and you're right. Recall that air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, and that cooler air tends to displace warmer air. The cool, dense air over the water moves inland, forcing up the warm, less-dense air over land. A convection current results. This is a sea breeze.Land BreezeAt night, the convection current reverses. Air over land cools down more quickly than air over water. The cooler, denser air moves toward the sea, forcing the air over the water to rise. This is a land breeze.
Why is the air thinner at night?
During the night, as the ground cools down, the air near the surface also cools and becomes more dense. This cooler, dense air stays close to the ground, causing it to sink and displace the lighter, less dense air above. This leads to a decrease in air pressure and makes the air feel "thinner" compared to during the day.
What do moreporks do day and night?
During the day, moreporks roost hidden in dense foliage or tree cavities to rest. At night, they are active hunters, using their keen hearing to locate prey such as insects, small mammals, and birds. Moreporks are territorial and may call to establish their presence and defend their space during the night.
What cause a land breeze?
At night, the land looses heat faster than water does. Cooler air from the land moves toward the water, causing a land breeze.
What best describes the movement of air in coastal areas?
In coastal areas, the movement of air is influenced by the temperature difference between the land and sea. During the day, air moves from the sea to the land (sea breeze) as the land heats up more quickly than the water. At night, the air moves from the land to the sea (land breeze) as the land cools more rapidly than the sea.
Cool dense air moves during the night from the land toward the water as what?
Cool dense air moves during the night from the land toward the water as land breezes. This occurs as the land cools more rapidly than water, creating a pressure difference that causes the air to flow from land to sea. Land breezes typically occur in coastal areas and can bring cooler temperatures to the coastline.
What occurs when cool air from the beach toward the ocean during the night?
A sea breeze occurs when cool air moves from the beach toward the ocean at night.
What is warm air moves from the beach toward the ocean?
Warm air moves from a beach toward the ocean by convection.
What cloud moves higher at night and lower during the day?
higher durning the day and lower during the night

During the night what happens at the beach?
The water is cooler than the land, and wind blows toward the water
What type of wind is a movement of air toward water?
A sea breeze occurs when the cooler air from the sea moves toward the warmer land during the day. Conversely, a land breeze happens at night when the land cools faster than the water, causing air to move from land to sea.
Why does the rabbit move to its burrow at night?
On the contrary : rabbit moves to its burrow during the day and goes out at night when he's less likely to be seen by predators.
Can you see stars in the night during rainy season?
Depends on how dense the clouds are. With thin clouds, you'll still see some of the stronger stars. With dense cluds, you won't see a thing.
What do prairie dogs do during the day?
Jackrabbits are active both during the day and at night. However, during the day they do most of their browsing in dense foliage to avoid detection by predators.
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.
