Question

During the night the direction of wind is from sea to the land in coastal areas.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. Land Breeze: This process takes place for the duration of the night and the above-mentioned process gets reversed.
2. Both, the land and the sea start cooling down when the sunsets. As the heat capacity of the land is different from the sea it cools down quicker.
3. Thus, a low-pressure situation develops over the sea as the temperature above it is higher when compared to the land.
4. Due to this, the air flows from the land to the sea which is termed the land breeze.

So the above statement is false.
