The figure shows trees along the sea coast on a summer afternoon. Identify which side is land - A or B. Explain your answer. Class 8

Answer:

'A' side is land.

During the daytime on a summer afternoon, there is a sea breeze that blows from sea to land. Because the land gets heated faster and the air above land rises resulting in low-pressure region over land. Cooler air over sea moves from a high-pressure region towards the land. The bending of trees due to wind, as shown in the figure, suggests that wind is blowing in the direction from B to A. This suggests ' A ' side is land.
