An onshore wind is any wind that blows from a body of water toward land. An offshore wind is any wind that blows from the land toward body of water.

Explanation:

The onshore winds are winds that form over larger bodies of water.

  • These winds move from the body of water toward the land, usually during the day.
  • The reason for that is that the bodies of water have lower temperature during the day, so the air above them is cooler, denser, so it moves toward the less dense, warmer air over the land.

The offshore winds are winds that form over land.

  • These winds move from the land toward a body of water, usually during the night.
  • The land heats up faster than the water, but also cools off quicker than the water, so at night the land is cooler. Because of it, the air masses that form over the land are more dense, so they move toward the less dense air masses over the water bodies.

What is the link between migration and urbanisation... give examples and explain ​
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Migration, whether internal or international, has always been one of the forces driving the growth of urbanization and bringing opportunities and challenges to cities, migrants and governments. Increasingly, municipal authorities are becoming recognized as key actors in managing migration and have started including migration in their urban planning and implementation.  

For cities to better manage migration, data on migration and urbanization are essential. However, these data are not always available or – if available – not used or accessible at the urban level, nor disaggregated, comprehensive or comparable, particularly in low-income countries.
