Q. Consider the following statements:
Assertion (A): Sea breeze is a local wind system in which cool air flows from the sea towards the land during the day.
Reason (R): During the day, land heats up faster than the sea, creating a high pressure zone over the land which pulls cool air from the sea.
Select the correct answer using the code below:

[A] Both A and R are correct, and R is the correct explanation of A

[B] Both A and R are correct, but R is not the correct explanation of A

[C] A is correct, but R is incorrect

[D] A is incorrect, but R is correct

Answer: C
Notes:

Explanation:

  • Assertion is correct: Sea breeze blows from sea to land during the day due to temperature differences.
  • Reason is incorrect: Although land heats faster, it creates a low pressure zone (not high pressure) over land. This pressure difference drives cool air from the sea.
