Q-5. Identify and explain the given picture
Answers
Answer:
it is the diagram of how land and sea breeze forms
Answer:
This picture is of sea breeze and the process by which it occurs is called Convection.
Explanation:
The uneven heating of water causes small scale coastal winds. During the day, the land heats up more quickly than the water and the air above the land creates a small area of low pressure. The air over the water remains cooler, so a small area of high pressure exists over the water. Winds like to blow toward an area of low pressure, so we see the wind blowing toward the coast or onshore and we call this the sea breeze or lake breeze. Usually the breezes are strongest right at the shore and diminish further inland. At night, the land cools more quickly than the water and the opposite happens and we get what we call a land breeze or offshore flow.
The effects of sea breeze is it creates a weather front,also known as a convergence zone.The cold air from the sea meets the warmer air from the land and creates a boundary like a shallow cold front. When powerful this front creates cumulus clouds, and if the air is humid and unstable, the front can sometimes trigger thunderstorms.
Hope this helps!!
