Question

Winds develop due to uneven heating of the earth .

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. Wind occurs due to uneven heating on earth, which leads to two natural phenomena i.e Land breeze and sea breeze.
2. Sea breeze - During the day, the land surface warms up faster than the ocean surface.
3. Warm air from the land rises and creates an area of low pressure, while above the ocean surface creates an area of high pressure.
4. This pressure difference causes the air to move from ocean to sea and is known as a sea breeze.
5. Land breeze- During the night, the land cools down faster than the ocean surface.
6. The warmer air from the ocean rises and creates an area of low pressure near the surface.
7. This gives rise to the land breeze.

Final answer: The given statement is true.
