Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the night, the land cools faster than the ocean, resulting in the formation of a high-pressure zone over the land and a low-pressure zone over the ocean. As air moves from high-pressure to low-pressure areas, winds blow from the land (high pressure) towards the ocean (low pressure), making option D the correct choice.
