What can you say about:
(i) The appearance of areas of low and high pressure in coastal areas at night?
(ii) The direction in which air would flow at night in coastal areas?
(i) During night the land cools faster than the sea Since, sea water cools down slower than the land, the air remains warm and rises up, creating a region of low pressure above the sea. As the land cools faster the air above land also becomes coll and a region of high pressure is developed over land.
(ii) At night, the air flows from the land to the sea.
