10. AIR MOVEMENT LAND & SEA BREEZES
Wind- horizontal movement of air from one place to another

11. AIR MOVEMENT LAND & SEA BREEZES
Sea breeze- cooler air above water moves in to take the place of warm land air that is rising---blows onto land (DAY)
Land Breeze- warmer air rises above water and is replaced by cooling air from above the land---blows onto water (NIGHT)
