Rock and water absorb and release heat differently, causing localized air pressure differences. One result of these differences is land breezes. Which statement is true of land breezes?
They originate in the day and blow toward the land.
easterlies
They originate in the evening and blow toward the water.
the horse latitudes
the sun
Winds are generally weak because the equator is a region of mostly low air pressure.
Earth’s rotation
energy from the sun
Differences in air pressure drive the global wind systems on Earth. Which term describes polar winds that blow from east to west?
They originate in the day and blow toward the land.
easterlies
They originate in the evening and blow toward the water.
