Question 1157Navigation General

The correct answer is D) sea breeze. A sea breeze is a local wind that occurs during the daytime and is caused by the different rates of warming between the land and the water. The land heats up faster than the water, which creates a pressure difference that causes air to flow from the cooler water towards the warmer land, resulting in the sea breeze. The other options are incorrect: a foehn is a warm, dry wind that occurs on the downslope of mountains, a land breeze is the opposite of a sea breeze and occurs at night, and a chinook is a type of warm, dry wind that occurs on the east side of mountain ranges.
