How come wind coming from the ocean tends to be strong? How is it not losing momentum before it reaches shore?
In: 17
The basic idea is that the land heats up faster than the sea, so the air above the land is heated and rises. This causes a drop in pressure which is filled by the cooler air from the ocean.
TL;DR it doesn’t lose momentum because it isn’t “pushed” by the sea; it’s “pulled” by the land.
