Question

Land and sea breeze occur due to

• A. Conduction
• B. Convection
• C. Radiation
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Convection

The explanation for the correct option is:

Option B: Convection

1. Convection is a process in which the heat is transferred with the movement of molecules of a medium.
2. When the land cools faster than the sea at night, the cool breeze blowing from land at night is the Land breeze.
3. When the land heats up quickly compared to the sea during the day, the cool breeze blowing from sea to land is the Sea breeze.
4. Both types of breezes are called convection currents since both work to transfer heat energy between the land and the sea.

The explanation for incorrect options are:

Option A: Conduction

It refers to the process of heat transfer between the molecules of a medium, without the movement of the molecules.

Option C: Radiation

It refers to the transfer of heat between two bodies without the necessity of a medium.

Hence, the correct option is Option B. Convection.
