Solution

Flying of kites

  • It is easy to fly a kite near a seashore as compared to land or any other place.
  • Due to wind, the kite flies at greater heights than usual.

Reason:

  • During the daytime, land tends to get heated up and the pressure becomes low. So, it becomes a low-pressure area.
  • To regulate the pressure, the high-pressure winds from the sea move towards land.
  • This thus helps in maintaining pressure overall.
  • At night, the opposite happens. The wind flow is from land towards the sea to maintain pressure because the sea tends to heat up.
  • So, in daytime wind currents move from the sea towards land and this wind flow helps and supports flying the kite.

Hence people love to fly kites at the seashore.
