A sea breeze describes the wind that blows from the ocean inland towards land. This breeze occurs most often in the spring and summer months because of the greater temperature differences between the ocean and nearby land, particularly in the afternoon when the land is at maximum heating from the sun. 
During the day, the sun heats up both the ocean surface and the land. Water is a good absorber of the energy from the sun. The land absorbs much of the sun’s energy as well.  However, water heats up much more slowly than land and so the air above the land will be warmer compared to the air over the ocean. The warm air over the land will rise throughout the day, causing low pressure at the surface. Over the water, the high surface pressure will form because of the colder air. To compensate, the air will sink over the ocean. The wind will blow from the higher pressure over the water to lower pressure over the land causing the sea breeze. The sea breeze strength will vary depending on the temperature difference between the land and the ocean.
At night, the roles reverse. The air over the ocean is now warmer than the air over the land. The land loses heat quickly after the sun goes down and the air above it cools too.  This can be compared to a blacktop road. During the day, the blacktop road heats up and becomes very hot to walk on. At night, however, the blacktop has given up the added heat and is cool to the touch. The ocean, however, is able to hold onto this heat after the sun sets and not lose it as easily. This causes the low surface pressure to shift to over the ocean during the night and the high surface pressure to move over the land. This causes a small temperature gradient between the ocean surface and the nearby land at night and the wind will blow from the land to the ocean creating the land breeze.

 <span>I would suspect the pressure would be slightly higher at night and slightly lower during the day. You can research "diurnal pressure change" for more information.

Which is happening as humans emit more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
Mazyrski [523]
<span>As humans cause more carbon dioxide to be released into the Earth's atmosphere, it causes the oceans to become much more acidified which in turn begins to damage the precious coral reefs. Roughly one quarter of all the life in the ocean is dependent on coral reefs for food and shelter.</span>

Which statement best explains why the process of genetic engineering is important to the scientific community?
iVinArrow [24]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

Genetic designing gives crops that are more affordable to develop. One of the most serious issues that the world may look soon is a sustenance supply lack because of the expanding exponential development of the populace.

Genetic designing gives crops that are progressively generous, bigger and more affordable to develop that might be the response to mounting future issues. The capacity to control plants in the lab makes modifying their development design an a lot quicker change than numerous long periods of characteristic choice in the homestead and field.

The Gecko. While human-made devices inspired by gecko feet have emerged in recent years, enabling their wearers to slowly scale a glass wall, the possible applications of gecko-adhesion technology go far beyond Spiderman-esque antics. A researcher is looking into how the technology could be applied in a high-precision industrial setting, such as in robot arms used in manufacturing computer chips.
