🔍 Key Concepts

• Sea breeze vs. land breeze (direction depends on day or night) • How land and water heat at different rates during the day • What happens to air over warmer surfaces (rising vs. sinking)

💭 Think About

• During the daytime, which gets warmer faster: land (or island) or the surrounding sea? How does that affect air movement? • When air over a surface gets warmer and rises, from which direction does cooler replacement air move in? • Which option, if any, clearly describes a nighttime pattern rather than a daytime pattern?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure the option you choose clearly matches a daytime phenomenon, not nighttime • Confirm that the wind direction is from the sea toward the warmer land for a classic sea breeze • Eliminate any answer that involves hurricanes or cold air flowing downhill, since those describe different wind types
