1 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…
