Answer:

The air over the land heats up more quickly than at over the ocean.

Explanation:

In the <u>northern hemisphere, the rotation of the Earth deflects the winds so that they move clockwise.</u> In the <em>southern hemisphere the winds move in the opposite direction.</em>

The layers of the atmosphere are defined by vertical variation of the temperature; the <em>height of the layers</em> with respect to the earth's surface, do not always remain constant, they vary in time and space.
