Answer 2

Answer:

1. (A) Sea Breeze

2. (C) Uneven heating of earth'S surface

3. (C) Mountain Breeze

Explanation:

• Sea breezes occur during hot, summer days because of the unequal heating rates of land and water. During the day, the land surface heats up faster than the water.
• Local winds are caused by unequal heating of Earth's surface within a small area. Local winds form only when large-scale winds are weak. A sea breeze is a local wind that blows from an ocean or a lake
• When the valley floor warms during the day, warm air rises up the slopes of surrounding mountains and hills to create a valley breeze. At night, denser cool air slides down the slopes to settle in the valley, producing a mountain breeze.
