Sample questions
-
1.The reversal of the sea breeze to a land breeze at night is best explained by which combination of facts? (i) Water has a high specific heat capacity; (ii) land heats and cools faster than water; (iii) at night water is warmer than land so the convection cycle reverses.
- A.Only (i)
- B.Only (ii)
- C.(i), (ii) and (iii)
- D.Only (iii)
-
