1 Breezes and Monsoons

2 Current vs Wind Currents moves up and down Wind moves horizontally

3 Breeze Gentle local winds Caused by uneven heating on land and water

4 Faster or Slower Land heats and cools fast
Water heats and cools slowly Changes occur from daytime to evening

5 Hot and Cold Warm air Is light It rises Is low pressure

6 Hot and Cold Cold air Is heavy It sinks Is high pressure

7 Sea Breeze Occurs during the daytime From the Sea to land
Water is cooler than land Moves from H to L

8 Land Breeze Occurs during the evening From the Land to sea
Water is warmer than land Moves from H to L

9 Mountain Breeze Occurs during the evening From the mountain to valley
Mountain is cooler than the valley Moves from H to L

10 Valley Breeze Occurs during the daytime
From the valley to the mountain Mountain is warmer than the valley Moves from H to L

11 Monsoons and Droughts Changes based on season
Found in India and Southeast Asia

12 Monsoons and Droughts Summer Land is hot (L) Water is cool (H)
Moves from H to L Wet season (monsoons)

13 Monsoons and Droughts Winter Water is warm (L) Land is cool (H)
Moves from H to L Dry season
