Wind Day 2
Day time on shore breeze

1. Land heats faster than water. Warmed air rises
2. Warmer temperature creates LOW pressure
3. Rising air cools creating an area of HIGH pressure

Day time on shore breeze
4. The air over the cooler water creates an area
of LOW pressure 5. The cooler water creates an
area of HIGH pressure 6. The offshore flow aloft

breeze are both created by the areas of LOW and
High pressure
