Would you expect a well-developed sea breeze circulation to cause clouds to form over the land or over the ocean?

What will be the ideal response?


ANSWER: During a sea breeze wind blows from the sea towards the shore, bringing abundant moisture with it. If this rising air is sufficiently moist, a line of cumulus clouds will form along the sea breeze front, and, if the air is also conditionally unstable, thunderstorms may form.
