Answer:

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

Explanation:

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

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