Answer #1

(1)

At night, the temperature of the land is lower than the sea. In other words, the land is colder than the sea at night. The air above sea is hotter than the air above the land. The warm air( sea) rises up and colder(land) air replaces it. Thus, the breeze blows from land to sea is known as land breeze. In this breeze, the low altitude breeze flows from land towards sea.

Therefore, the correct option is (b).

    Review Constants Periodic Table Air consists mostly of nitrogen (N), with a molecular mass of 28, and oxygen (O2), with a molecular mass of 32. A water molecule (H,O) has molecular mass 18. According to the ideal gas law (N/ V P /KT), dry air at a particular pressure and temperature has the same particle density (number of particles per unit volume) as humidait at the same pressure and temperature. Consequently, humidair, whose low-mass water molecules replace more massive nitrogen...

    4. Refrigeration and air conditioning is quite useful, but it is, in effect, a way to move heat from a low temperature to a high temperature. Is this possible, given the second law? Answer the following questions below, for R-134a (a common refrigerant), and then state whether you believe refrigeration violates the second law, and why (or why not) a. R-134a arrives to the inside of the refrigerator that you are trying to keep cooled to T- 4°C. The air...
