Question

When a fluid is heated, the particle rises up.

1. Name the phenomenon behind it.

2.Explain the formation of land breeze and sea breeze.

Answer 1

1. Convection

2. During the day, land heats up more quickly than, water in lake (due to high specific heat capacity of water). The air on the surface of earth gets heated, expands, becomes less dense and rises up. The colder air (wind) replaces the space created by hot air.

It creates a sea breeze. At night the land loses its heat very quickly than water. So water remains more warmer at night.
