Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The sun heats the land more quickly than the water. Warm air above the land rises, and cooler air above the water moves in over the land, creating an inland breeze.
Detailed explanation-2: -The uneven heating of the earth’s surface causes the wind to flow. Q. Wind is a result of pressure difference caused by uneven heating of the Earth by the Sun.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ocean Currents Earth receives more solar radiation at the equator than it does at the poles; this uneven distribution of heat creates pressure differences, which in turn cause the movement of air, or wind. Because the poles are either north or south of the equator, winds have a northward or southward flow.
