Answer 1

Convection currents in air

Explanation:

The convection currents in air tends to blow out winds towards the water at night.

Convection is a mode of heat transfer commonly found in fluids.

It involves the movement of the particles due to differences in temperature and density of the air.

• The land and water heats at different rate.
• The land absorbs and loses heat quickly because it is a good conductor of heat.
• At night, the shore area is cold.
• The air around is very dense and close to the surface.
• This air mass moves towards the surface of the ocean.
• The ocean has high specific heat capacity and takes a long time to heat and cool.
• At night, as it is loosing heat, the air around warms up and rises shifting land ward.
• This movement of cold and dense air from land and the attendant movement of warm air to the land sets up convection currents in the air.
