Coastal areas exhibit different breeze patterns during the day and night because of different rates of heat absorption and release by land and sea. this activity will familiarize you with these patterns. match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. make certain each sentence is complete before submitting your answer. you do not need to use all terms.

I am not quite sure what the choices are, but we will go over the key elements that are needed to solve the exercise.
There are offshore breezes and onshore breezes. Conceptually, since on shore means on the shore and the shore is a piece of land, you should think of onshore breezes as breezes that take place in the land; the important thin is to remember that such breezes end up in the land. Also for offshore breezes, these end up offshore (above the sea).

Breezes are created due to pressure differences in the air. This is tied to air temperature. During the day, the land absorbs faster heat and consequently the air above land is hotter than the air above the sea. Hotter air means less pressure (inversely related) and thus the air from the sea has higher pressure. Thus cold air pushes into land and this creates an onshore breeze.

During the night, water is able to retain more heat than the land; thus at this time the air over the sea is hotter. Hence, there will be an offshore current.

An important note is that during the summer time, the difference in temperature between land and sea is in general the highest.
