Question

As you sit on the beach, you notice that the breeze, which had been blowing toward the water from the land, shifts, so that it

is blowing off the water toward land. What event has just occurred?
O Clouds have begun to form over the water.
The temperature over the land has reached its highest point for that day.
The temperature over the land has become higher than the temperature over the water.
The temperature over the water has become higher than the temperature over the land.

Answer 1

The temperature over the land has become higher than the temperature over the water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The air over the warmer land becomes heated and rises, and the cooler and denser air over the water moves in to take its place.

A is wrong. Clouds move where the upper air currents take them.

B is wrong. The highest air temperature of the day may still be lower than that of the air over the water.

D is wrong. Higher air temperature over the water would create a land breeze.
