Study the image. A house on a beach near the ocean. Point 1 is over the house, arrow is pointing up. Point 2 is over the ocean,
with arrows pointing away from the land. Point 3 is over the ocean with the arrow pointing down. Point 4 is in the ocean with arrows pointing toward land. What do the arrows at point 3 indicate?
2 answers:
Answer:
The arrow in point 3 indicates that warm air is cooling quickly.
.
Explanation:
Options for this question are:
- <em>Cool air is above water. </em>
- <em>Warm air is above land. </em>
- <em>Warm air is cooling quickly. </em>
- <em>Cool air is warming quickly.</em>
The diagram is related to the movement of air masses between land and the ocean, according to their temperature (see image).
- During the day, the heat from the sun warms the ground, which induces the heating of the circulating air and promotes its rise to the atmosphere (1).
- When the air masses go into the ocean (2), the<u> low water temperatures -the ocean water is slow to warm- promote the cooling of the air, which descends </u>(3).
- The air on the surface of the water go to the land (4).
Therefore, arrow 3 in the diagram shows how hot air, when over the ocean, cools down quickly. This dynamic of the air is one of the causes of the origin of the winds.
