Question

Which of the following area is created over land during land breeze?
  1. High pressure
  2. Low pressure
  3. Low temperature
  4. All of the above

A
Low temperature
B
Low pressure
C
All of the above
D
High pressure
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The correct option is B Low pressure
During, the daytime when the air above the land gets heated up, the air molecules absorbs the heat and the intermolecular forces between the air molecules become weak and its kinetic energy increases. The air molecules move apart and become less dense and they become lighter and rises up. This creates a low-pressure zone on land and thus cold air from the sea rushes from sea to land and thus creates sea breeze. Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Arrange the following steps in the proper order to explain how a sea breeze occurs, near coastal regions.
(a) The temperature of land rises rapidly as compared to sea, because the specific heat capacity of land is five times less than that of water.
(b) Due to the low pressure over the land mass, the cool air over the sea starts blowing towards the land.
(c) The sun shines equally on the land mass and sea, giving equal amount of heat energy to both.
(d) The air above the land becomes hot and light, rises up and hence creates the low pressure over the land.
