How do winds blow when high pressure is over land and low pressure is over sea in cold weather?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: From land to sea

Answer: A, from land to sea. Air moves because of differences in air pressure. In cold weather, land cools faster than the sea. Cooler air becomes denser and creates relatively high pressure over land, while the comparatively warmer sea has relatively lower pressure. Wind then moves from the high-pressure area toward the low-pressure area, so it blows from land toward the sea. B describes the opposite pressure arrangement, often associated with a sea breeze. C is wrong because wind direction is not determined only by north and south; pressure differences are the key factor. D is wrong because a pressure difference produces air movement. The actual path may be affected by Earth’s rotation and local features, but the basic school-level direction here is land to sea. Memory cue: high pressure sends air out; low pressure receives air.
