Sea Breeze/Land Breeze Diagram showing air flow patterns due to temperature differences between land and ocean during the day.

Let’s go step by step to solve this worksheet about sea breeze and land breeze.

---

First, look at the diagram labeled “Time: 10 AM DAY”.

We are told:
- Land Temp = 38 (probably °F or °C — doesn’t matter for comparison)
- Ocean Temp = 29

So, land is hotter than ocean during the day. That makes sense because land heats up faster than water when the sun shines on it.

Now, think about air movement:

→ Hot air rises (because it becomes less dense).
→ Cold air sinks (because it becomes more dense).

So over the hot land, air will rise → draw an arrow going UP from the land.
Over the cooler ocean, air will sink → draw an arrow going DOWN over the ocean.

Then, what happens next? The rising air over land creates low pressure near the ground. The sinking air over ocean creates high pressure near the ground.

Wind always blows from HIGH pressure to LOW pressure.

So near the surface, wind should blow FROM the ocean TO the land → that’s the sea breeze!

That means we need to draw a horizontal arrow pointing LEFT (from ocean toward land) near the bottom of the diagram.

And since air rose over land and sank over ocean, there must be a return flow aloft — so draw a horizontal arrow pointing RIGHT (from land toward ocean) at the top of the diagram.

This completes the convection cycle:
Land (hot) → air rises → moves right over ocean → sinks over ocean → flows left back to land → repeats.

Now answer questions 3 and 4:

3. Is the land or ocean hotter? Land → So air over land will rise.
4. Is the land or ocean colder? Ocean → So air over ocean will sink.

These match our diagram arrows.

Now fill in the paragraph using the word bank:

Word Bank: Warmer, Sea, Sun, Rising, Warmer, Sinking, Colder, High, Low

Paragraph with blanks filled correctly:

> During the day, when the sun comes up. The land gets warmer than the Ocean. The air above the land gets warmer too and is less dense, so it rises. Meanwhile, the air over the ocean is colder/more dense and falls. The falling dense air creates high pressure over the ocean & the rising thin air creates low pressure over the land. A "sea breeze" develops from movement of hot air rising and cold air sinking. A sea breeze is when the wind we feel comes from the sea.

All words used appropriately.

Final Answer:

✔ Diagram Arrows:
- Upward arrow over Land
- Rightward arrow at top (from land to ocean)
- Downward arrow over Ocean
- Leftward arrow at bottom (from ocean to land)

✔ Question 3: Land; rise
✔ Question 4: Ocean; sink
