Question

What would be the direction of the wind during the day?

• A. From the sea to the land
• B. From the land to the sea
• C. Does not flow from the sea to the land
• D. Cannot be ascertained

Answer 1

The correct option is A

From the sea to the land

Land absorbs heat faster than the water bodies during the day. Air above land gets heated and rises faster. This creates an area of low pressure over land. As air moves from an area of high pressure to that of low pressure, the air above the sea flows towards the land. The movement of air from one region to another forms wind.
