Does hurricanes get their energy from warm air over land?
Hurricanes get their energy from warm ocean water. As the warm water evaporates and rises, it releases heat energy into the atmosphere, which drives the storm's circulation and intensifies its strength. Warm air over land can contribute to thunderstorms and rainfall associated with hurricanes when they make landfall, but the primary energy source for hurricanes is warm ocean water.
Do land breezes occur at night?
Most often, yes. At night temperatures generally drop. The land cools faster than large bodies of water, resulting on cool air sinking over land while warm air rises over the water. Air from the land the moves over the water to replaces the rising air, resulting in a land breeze.
Is a land breeze warm?
No, a land breeze is typically cooler than the surrounding air because it originates from the land, which cools faster than the water.
When warm air from a large body of water moves quickly into a land area of cold air we can expect to occur where the two air masses meet.?
A thunderstorm
What causes a lake breeze?
Water is not easy to warm up, so during the day the water is cooler than the land. This causes the lake to cool the air above it. The cooler, denser air the sinks, and must spread out onto land when it reaches the surface.
What do you call it when warm air over land rises and cool air from water moves in?
This process is known as a sea breeze. During the day, the land heats up faster than the water, causing the warm air over the land to rise and be replaced by cooler air from the water. This creates a breeze that flows from the water towards the land.
Does Maritime air mass form over land?
warm water
What happens to the air on land near a warm water current?
stuff
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.
When warm air from a body of water blows across the colder air above the surrounding land?
wind
How do ocean surfaces cause milder climate?
Ocean currents can carry warm water. As they are traveling, the warm water they are carrying warms up the air near them. The warmed air may then also warm the land around it, making the temperature of the land near the ocean currents milder.

Why does land warm and cool more quickly than water and how does it affect your air temperature?
Diffusion of heat from land is quicker than water. thus temperature of air on land flactutes faster than in the ocean.
Which breezes form during the day when the land heats up faster then water?
Sea breezes form during the day when the land heats up faster than the water. The warm air over the land rises, creating lower pressure, and the cooler air from the water rushes inland to replace it. This cycle of warm air rising and cooler air moving in creates the characteristic sea breeze.
How do ocean surface currents cause milder climates?
Ocean currents can carry warm water. As they are traveling, the warm water they are carrying warms up the air near them. The warmed air may then also warm the land around it, making the temperature of the land near the ocean currents milder.
