Every afternoon, Bill and Anita go down to the beach to fly their kite. They noticed that the wind always blows towards shore. Why is this? PLEASE HELP QUICKLY

The energy of ocean waves pushes air towards shore

Earth's rotation causes air to blow toward land

Ocean air is less dense, so it moves in to replace air over the land

Air over the beach heats up, rises, and is replaced by cool, denser ocean air

Answer:

the answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

Air over the beach heats up, rises, and is replaced by cool, denser ocean air

The ocean heats up much slower and becomes relatively cooler than the beach making it a high pressure zone. The air moves from the water to the land each morning forming a sea breeze. These pressure zones might equal out later in the day and the winds may diminish. ... A sea breeze blows from the ocean towards the beach.
