Question 1 Report

During a land breeze at night, the air over the warmer sea rises. What replaces this rising air at sea level?

Answer Details

The rising air over the sea is replaced by Cooler air flowing out from the land. At night the land cools faster than the sea, so the air over the warmer sea rises; cooler, denser air over the land then flows out to the sea at ground level to replace it, giving a land breeze. No replacement being needed, or warm air flowing from the land, would break the circulation, since air must move in to fill the gap left by the rising air.
