    Breeze (SA) Worksheet

    Land and sea breezes are caused by differences in temperature between land and water surfaces. During the day, the land heats up more quickly than the water, causing warm air over the land to rise and sea breezes to form as cooler air over the water moves inland. At night, the pattern reverses as land cools more quickly, forming land breezes as cooler air moves offshore from the land to the warmer water. These breezes are strongest when the temperature contrast between land and air is greatest. Other local breezes like lake breezes and mountain breezes occur due to similar temperature differences.

    being at the beach on a hot summer day is feeling the gentle breeze
    off the water.
    Breeze also denotes various local
    Breezes are the result of differences in air temperature.
    ✔ -Warm air rises, leaving behind l________ pressure near the
    ground.
    ✔ -Cold air creates _________ pressure and sinks to compensate;
    wind then blows from areas of ________ pressure to areas of
    ______ pressure to try to equalize ____________.
    ✔ -The strength of breezes varies based on _________
    differences; the __________the difference, the ________ the
    breeze

    How A Sea Breeze Forms ? 8 pts

    Step 1- The land heats up during the day, and it heats up the
    atmosphere. The air becomes ____ dense and ________. Then
    the air rises which creates a _______pressure area. •

    Step 2- The water heats up _________ than the land. •

    Step 3- The cold air above the water starts to create a


    _________ because of the __________ temperatures, and the
    cold air moves toward l_______. •
    Step 4- Now the process starts again. The land heats up. The
    warm air rises. The water heats up slower. A breeze starts
    because there is uneven temperatures. The cold air moves
    toward land and becomes ________.

    How A Land Breeze Forms ? 5 pts

    Step 1- At night the land cools _______ than the water. The air
    above the land becomes _________dense and contracts. •

    Step 2- The air above the land becomes _________dense. •

    Step 3- That forms a __________ pressure. •

    Step 4- This causes a breeze to start and go toward the


    _________. •

    Step 5- Now the process starts again. The cold air from land
    moves toward the water. Now the cold air becomes warm. The
    land cools quicker than the water. The water is warmer than the
    land because it holds its heat.

    When Do Land and Sea Breezes Form?  5 pts

    Sea breezes often occur on warm spring and ________ days.


    They occur when the temperature of the land is _______than
    the temperature of the water . •

    Land breezes often occur at ________, when the


    temperature of the water is _________ than the temperature of
    the land. The __________ holds it heat better than land.
    When Are Land and Sea Breezes the Strongest?  4 pts.

    • Land breezes are strongest when the land is ______ and the
    water is ________. •

    -Sea breezes are the strongest when the land is ________ and
    the water is ________. You can see that the wind is very low
    because no one’s hair is being blown.

    Other Types of Breezes 8 pts.


    1. Lake breezes are a found around large lakes, such as the United
    States' Great Lakes. These breezes form in the ________ and
    summer when the land temperature starts to _______. Another
    type of breeze is the katabatic breeze, also called a _________
    wind; this breeze forms when the cold air at ___________ sinks
    into _________ displacing _________ air. When these breezes blow
    up the mountain slope, they are called __________ breezes; in the
