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.

The oceanic plate also melts during the subduction process, becoming molten rock. This molten material can then push to the surface during volcanic activity.
