Question

During the daytime on area coastlines, the temperature of the air over the land is warmer than the temperature of the air over the water. However, during the nighttime, the situation is reversed and the air over the water is warmer than the air over the land. What force drives this difference in temperatures?
A: solar winds
B: melting ice at the polar caps
C: rising and falling ocean levels
D: the Sun's heat

Answer 1

Answer:

your answer is

D: the Sun's heat

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is Option (d) The Sun's heat.

Explanation:

Because land heats quicker than water, solar heating of the Earth's surface is uneven, causing air to warm, expand, and rise over land while cooling and sinking over cooler water surfaces.

• Because of the differential heating rates of land and water, sea breezes occur during hot summer days. The land surface heats up faster than the sea surface during the day. As a result, the air above land is warmer than the air above the sea. Remember that warmer air is lighter than colder air. Warm air rises as a result. As a result, the warmer air above the land surface rises. As the warm air above the land rises, colder air from the ocean flows over the land to replace the rising warm air.

• At night, the land surface cools faster than the sea surface. As a result, the warmer air above the water is buoyant and rising. A land wind occurs when the denser chilly air above the land flows offshore to replenish the buoyant warm air.
