How are a land breeze and sea breeze similar?

Answer 1

Mountain and valley breezes are other examples of local winds caused by an area's geography. Campers in mountains areas may feel warm afternoon quickly change into cold night soon after the sun sets. During the day, the sun warms the air along the mountain slopes. This warm air rises up the mountain slopes, creating a valley breeze. At nightfall, the air along the mountain slopes cools. This is cool air moves down the slopes into the valley, producing a mountain breeze.

Answer 2

Consider first a valley in the mountains.

In the morning, the higher pieces of land see the Sun first, and warm up. The valley floor is still cool, so the direction of wind is up-valley in the morning.

As evening approaches, the valley floor loses the Sun first and cools, thus drawing lighter air from the mountain lands, down the valley. So the wind is down-valley in the evening.

Now, to sea breezes. The same principles apply.

The land warms up more quickly than the sea, so we tend to have an on-shore wind in the morning.

And in the evening, the land cools quickly once the sun sets, and the land and its air cools quickly. But the sea still maintains its temperature, so we have off-shore breezes in the evening.

Answer 3

Sea and land breezes are similar in that they are both created by changes in temperature near the ground. With a sea breeze, the air over land warms, pressure drops, and air accelerates from sea to land in response.

Answer 4

Land and sea breezes are both caused by temperature differences between the land and water. During the day, the land heats up faster than the water, creating a sea breeze that blows from the water towards the land. At night, the land cools down faster than the water, resulting in a land breeze that blows from the land towards the water.

Answer 5

land and sea breeze are each others opposites

Answer 6

land breezes are the same as mountai and valley breezes , they dont have a difference.

Answer 7

They both are a slight wind current passing over. The only real difference between the two is location and humidity.
