What type of winds are Land and Sea breeze ?
Answer: C
Land and sea breezes are local winds.
They blow over a small coastal area and reverse every day. By day the land heats faster than the sea, so the air over the land rises and cooler air moves in from the sea as a sea breeze. At night the land cools faster, and the breeze blows from land to sea instead.
Permanent winds, such as the trade winds, westerlies and polar easterlies, blow in the same direction all year over large belts of the earth. Seasonal winds, such as the monsoons, change direction with the season, not every day. A cyclone is a storm system that forms around a centre of low pressure, not a class of wind like the others.
