4. 1. During sea breeze (day) the land is _________ and the sea is _________.During Land breeze (night) the land is _________ and the sea is _________.
Low pressure
High pressure
Low pressure
High pressure

5. 2. What happen to the cold air and warm air in
land and sea breeze?

6. 3. What is convection current?
Fluid mean either liquid or gas.
Convection current is the transfer of heat energy through a fluid due to gravity.

7. 4. Where do the cold and warm air come from?
Pole-cold
Cold-down
Equator-warm
Warm-Up
Cold-down
Pole-cold

8. 5. What is the Coriolis Effect?
Coriolis Effect- Northern Hemisphere wind curves winds to the right; in the Southern Hemisphere wind curves them left.

9. 5. What is the Coriolis Effect?
Because the Earth rotates on its axis, circulating air is deflected toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection is called the Coriolis effect.
Coriolis Effect- Northern Hemisphere wind curves winds to the right; in the Southern Hemisphere wind curves them left.

10. 5. What is the Coriolis Effect?
If the Earth did not rotate on its axis, the atmosphere would only circulate between the poles and the equator in a simple back-and-forth pattern.
Coriolis Effect- Northern Hemisphere wind curves winds to the right; in the Southern Hemisphere wind curves them left.
