Question

Explain how, uneven heating of ' land' and ' ocean water' in summer generates winds.

Answer 1

The wind drifts from high temperature to low temperature.

In summer, at day time , the sun starts heating the Ocean and land.

But the land heats faster than water , so the land gets higher temperature before ocean.

So , the wind drifts from land to ocean.

When sun set , both ocean and land starts cooling. but land cools faster than ocean. So this time wind drifts from ocean to land. because land will have lower temperature before ocean.

By this way , the wind drifts by unequal heating of ocean and land.
