Temperatures of adjacent coastlands are reduced when on – shore winds blow over cold currents because the
- current increases the total rainfall in such areas
-
current influences the temperature of the prevailing winds
- rainfall in sunny areas is usually heavy
- current influences the air pressure
The correct answer is: B
Explanation
Temperatures of adjacent coastlands are reduced when on-shore winds blow over cold currents because the current influences the temperature of the prevailing winds. When on-shore winds blow over cold currents, they bring cooler air to the coast, reducing temperatures.
