A. a breeze
A breeze is caused by unequal heating and cooling of adjoining areas of the surface of the Earth. It is strongest during the day in warm, dry weather. More intense solar radiation leads to stronger breeze. It can be countered or augmented by winds moving through pressure systems.
The four mechanisms are as follows:
1) Orographic lifting: Air is forced to rise over a mountainous barrier

2) Frontal wedging: Warmer, less dense air is forced over cooler, denser air along a front
</span>
<span>3) Convergence: Pileup of horizontal air flow resulting in an upward flow
</span>
<span>4) Localized convective lifting: Unequal surface heating causes localized pockets of air to rise because of their buoyancy. </span><span />
