What piece of evidence BEST explains the cause of cool breezes on a warm day at the beach?

Group of answer choices

Well, as the sun heats up the surface of the earth, some areas get warmer and others stay cooler.

Compare this to the equatore, where temperatures are really warm, because the sunbeams are hitting it from directly above.

That air will rush towards the area that doesn't have a big mound of air built up, and that will usually be a warm place where the air is rising.

You can feel this happening at the beach in summer, where the sun heats up the sand more than the water.

Answer: Sea breezes occur during hot, summer days because of the unequal heating rates of land and water. During the day, the land surface heats up faster than the water surface. Therefore, the air above the land is warmer than the air above the ocean. ... Therefore, the warmer air over the land surface is rising.

Explanation: Breezes are the result of differences in air temperature. Warm air rises, leaving behind low pressure near the ground. Cold air creates high pressure and sinks to compensate; wind then blows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure to try to equalize pressures.
