| 1. In the coastal regions, the land breeze blows over to the sea during night. |
| 2. In the coastal regions, during night, the air over the sea is warmer than the air over land. |
A) Only 1
B) Only 2
C) Both 1 and 2
D) Neither 1 nor 2
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Land heats and cools more rapidly than the sea. During the day the land gets heated and the air over the land being hotter and lighter than that over the sea, a low pressure area is created over the land. The hot air rises and cool air from the sea readies in towards the land, which is referred as sea breeze. At night the land rapidly loses its heat faster than the sea, the air over the sea is therefore warmer and lighter than over the land and a breeze blows but from the land towards the sea.
