Statement: 1 Mark
Explanation: 2 Marks

The trees will bend away from the sea.

During the day the land heats up faster than water. The warm air on the land rises up, and cold air above the surface of the sea flows towards the land. This is called sea breeze. It will flow from the sea to land. Thus, the trees will bend away from the sea.
