Question

During the night, an area of low pressure is formed on which of the following?

• A. Land
• B. Water
• C. Both land and water
• D. Cannot be ascertained

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Water

Water cools slower than the land. So, the air above water would be warmer than the air above land. The warmer air rises faster and thus an area of low pressure is created over water during the night.
