what is the sea breeze ? how is it set up
Answers
Explanation:
Sea breezes occur during hot, summer days because of the unequal heating rates of land and water. During the day, the land surface heats up faster than the water surface.As the warm air over the land is rising, the cooler air over the ocean is flowing over the land surface to replace the rising warm air.
Sea breeze, a local wind system characterized by a flow from sea to land during the day. Sea breezes alternate with land breezes along the coastal regions of oceans or large lakes in the absence of a strong large-scale wind system during periods of strong daytime heating or nighttime cooling.
importance of sea breeze :-
During the day, the land is warmer than the ocean when a sea breeze occurs. Denser air over the ocean flows toward the less dense air over the land. ... The sea breeze front is important because it can be a trigger mechanism for afternoon thunderstorms and can bring a nice relief from hot weather along the coastline.
