Question

The wind is caused by uneven heating of air over land and water bodies.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Wind: The movement of air caused due to pressure and temperature that arises due to uneven heating of air over land and water bodies.

1. The wind forms when uneven heating of land and sea occurs due to temperature and pressure differences.
2. During the day, the land gets heated faster due to which the air above it expands and rises, resulting in a land breeze.
3. During the night, the land loses heat faster due to its lower heat capacity with respect to water due to which the warm air above the sea moves towards the land as sea breeze.
4. Thus, uneven heating of land and water bodies results in wind.
