Which of the following is responsible for Sand Breeze and Land Breeze?

Which of the following is responsible for Sand Breeze and Land Breeze? Correct Answer Convection heat transfer

option(2)

CONCEPT:

  • Convection is a mode of heat transfer by the actual motion of matter.
    • Convection is a type of heat transfer that can only happen in liquids and gases. 
    • The particle of liquid and gases can move freely as compared to solid.
    •  Convection is responsible for the sand breeze and the land breeze.

EXPLANATION:

  • As we have always seen that the climate of the coastal region is not too cold and not too hot.
  • The reason behind this is Convection.
  • Land breeze: When the air blow from land towards the sea is called a land breeze.
    • They are formed mainly in the night when seawater and land both release heat.
  • Sea Breeze: When the air near the sea surface blows towards the land is called Sea breeze.
    •  This sets up the convection heat transfer which is responsible to form land and sea breeze. 
  • Hence option 2 is correct.

Additional Information

  • Conduction is the mechanism of transfer of heat between two adjacent parts of a body because of their temperature difference.
    • Conduction is mostly seen in solids and liquids because the particles are very close within them than in gases, where particles are further apart.
  • Radiation: The energy that comes from a source and travels through space at the rate of speed of light.
    • Radiation contains both an electric field and a magnetic field associated with it, 
    • Radiation is also named EM Wave( Electromagnetic wave).
  • Radiation is mainly three types:
    • alpha rays 
    • beta rays 
    • gamma rays

A. Climate change is warming the ocean,but its warming land faster and thatsreally bad news for air quality all overthe world, says a new University ofCalifornia, Riverside study. The study,published February 4 in Nature ClimateChange, shows that the contrast inwarming between the continents andsea, called the land-sea warmingcontrast, drives an increasedconcentration of aerosols in theatmosphere that cause airpollution. Aerosols affect the climatesystem, including disturbances to thewater cycle, as well as human health.They also cause smog and other kinds ofair pollution that can lead to healthproblems for people, animals, andplants.
B. To determine this, the researchersran simulations of climate change undertwo scenarios. The first assumed abusiness-as-usual warming model, inwhich warming proceeds at a constant,upward rate. The second model probeda scenario in which the land warmed lessthan expected. In the business-as-usualscenario, enhanced land warmingincreased continental aridity and,subsequently, the concentration ofaerosols that leads to more air pollution.
C. A robust response to an increase ingreenhouse gases is that the land isgoing to warm faster than the ocean.This enhanced land warming is alsoassociated with increased continental
aridity. The increase in aridity leads todecreased low cloud cover and less rain,which is the main way that aerosols areremoved from the atmosphere.

Consider the following regarding land revenue system: This system of land revenue was instituted in the late 18th century by Sir Thomas Munro, Governor of Madras in 1820. This was practised in the Madras and Bombay areas, as well as Assam and Coorg provinces. In this system, the peasants or cultivators were regarded as the owners of the land. They had ownership rights, could sell, mortgage or gift the land. The taxes were directly collected by the government from the peasants. Above are features of which of the following land system?
