Show answer
Correct Option: A

State whether true or false.
The land and sea breezes are based on the fact that the specific heat of vaporisation of steam is very high.

physics air, winds and cyclones wind and rain example of some natural phenomena uneven heating of earth the concept of bernoulli's principle

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
The statement is true.
The specific heat capacity of water is much higher than that of sand. Air above land becomes more warmer than water during day. So cold air above water or sea blows to land known as sea breeze and vice versa for land breeze.

A small weight put on the pressure cooker increased the pressure of steam because.
