Solar energy does not warm Earth’s surface evenly. For example, during the day, land areas warm up faster than nearby bodies of water. How does this uneven warming affect the movement of air over land and water?

Land and sea breeze

Explanation:

This uneven warming of the land during the day results in the phenomenon called land and sea breeze.

During the day, the land heats up faster than the nearby ocean. Ocean is made up of water with a high specific heat capacity. This derives pressurized air near the surface of the land to the ocean. At night, the ocean does not easily lose heat after the land has lost its own. Pressurized air moves from the ocean to the land. This causes the warming of the land during the night.
