Is this daytime or nighttime?
The cross section shows a sea breeze blowing from the ocean toward the land. The air pressure at the land surface is 1013 mb. The air pressure at the ocean surface a few miles from the shore is most likely 994 mb (3) 1013 mb (2) 1005 mb (4) 1017 mb Is this daytime or nighttime?
2
HIGH & LOW the Wind will Blow
3
Air moving horizontally from higher to lower pressure is WIND.
4
HIGH pressure (dense) air sinks and diverges (spreads out).
LOW pressure (less dense) air rises and more air converges (comes together).
5
btw…why do you think the clouds are above the LOW?
6
Unequal heating creates CONVECTION CURRENTS (density currents) in fluid.
7
Less heat More heat Less heat Does entire planet get equally heated?
High More heat Low Less heat High
8
It’s a bit more complex…
