Question 63

The drawing shows a cross section where the land meets the sea. The section covered is 5 kilometers. On a hot day, in which direction, indicated by four arrows, is the wind most likely to blow?

Q63-1

Solution

We know that hot air has a tendency to move upwards. So, on a hot day, the hot air in the land area will rise up, creating a low-pressure zone and the wind always moves from the high pressure zone to the low pressure zone. Therefore, the wind from the sea will move from the sea to the land as shown by Direction arrow D.
