Question

Describe the moisture content of a body of air as prevailing winds carry it across the ocean toward land

Answer 1

Because the wind is coming from the ocean it holds a lot more humidity. Meaning, the winds content includes about 80% humidity.

Answer 2

Answer: Cool, high moisture containing and elevated humidity levels

Explanation: Body of air or simply air masses specifically land and sea breezes are caused by the differences in temperature over land and water leading to the creation of high and low pressure points. Prevailing winds moving from oceans across land is called sea breeze which occurs during the day when the land has a higher temperature than surface waters such as the ocean. This results in a lower pressure over land and a higher one over the ocean. The pressure gradient is often strong enough for a wind to blow from the water to the land carrying winds characterized

by high moisture contents and high relative humidities over it.
