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.

Compare the hibiscus and spider lily pollen grain structure​
gregori [183]

Explanation:

Pollen grains are the male gametes in plants. It is present on the anthers. Pollen grains finds its way to the ovule by the process of pollination. The structure of pollen grains vary from one species of flower to another. The hibiscus and spider lily both have circular pollen grain.

However, the atomic structure of pollen grain of hibiscus represents the Buckminster fullerene but is not shown in spider lily. The pollen grains of hibiscus have spikes on its surface.

What are the reactants and the products in this equation?<br><br> 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Reactants: hydrogen and oxygen

Products: water

Explanation:

The reactants are what goes into a reaction, i.e. what is reacting. The products are what is formed. The reactants are usually shown on the left, and the products are usually shown on the right.

We can see in this equation that hydrogen (2H2) is reacting with oxygen (O2) to form water (2H2O). Therefore the reactants are hydrogen and oxygen, and the product is water.

During the human digestion process, digestion is compartmentalized in various organs throughout the digestive system. how does t
GenaCL600 [577]

The human digestion starts in the small intestine gets the most of the nutrients in your food, and your circulatory system passes them on to other parts of your body to store or use.  When food enters the small intestine, villi along the intestine wall along with enzymes help break down the food, and takes a long journey. The stomach is right above the small intestine, and the small intestine is all wrapped around, and isn't that thick. Nutrients from the food are released to the whole body as energy. The small intestine brings the food to the large intestine, which is five feet long and is near your pelvis, or hips. The large intestine connects to the rectum, and then to the anus. In the large intestine, all the water is absorbed as well as salt.
