Pages of a childrenâs book are put on signs and placed along the trail. Walk along the trail and read the story, step-by-step and page-by-page!
With a high pressure above the water and a lower pressure above the land, conditions are perfect for a small breeze to develop. Wind blows from the sea towards the land along the pressure gradient in an attempt to equalize pressure. This is known as a sea breeze. In the night, land cools down much quicker than does the waters of the ocean. As the land becomes cooler, so does the air above it. This results in air becoming more dense, forming a high pressure, causing winds to blow outward towards the sea. This is known as a land breeze.
Since cooler air is denser and heavier than warm air, high pressure tends to form over the water and low pressure over the land. Air begins to flow inland cooling the temperature. At night, the land cools more than the water and the reverse pressure and offshore wind flow tends to occur (called a land breeze).
