Question: How is wind speed and direction related to air temperature?

Answer 1

Answer:

The wind  moves from regions of lower air temperature to regions of higher air temperature because of a pressure differential set up by the two air masses

Explanation:

Relationship between wind speed and direction to air temperature:

wind flows from regions of lower air temperature to regions of higher air temperature because of a pressure differential set up by the two air masses.

A.  The land air will heat up more during the day. This is because the land has a lower specific heat capacity than water, hence increases a lot more rapidly in temperature than the sea when the sun comes up.

B.  The air packet over the land will cool down more rapidly at night due to the lower specific heat capacity of land when compared to the sea.
