The bottom layer of the atmosphere, where almost all weather occurs, is the
local geographic features causing temperature differences
during the night when the surface of the land cools faster than the sea
Warm air rises at the equator, and cold air sinks at the poles.
troposphere
trade winds
differences in air pressure
convection
because gravity pulls gas molecules toward the surface
When is a land breeze most likely to occur?

What causes differences in air pressure around the Earth?
local geographic features causing temperature differences
during the night when the surface of the land cools faster than the sea
Warm air rises at the equator, and cold air sinks at the poles.
