how does soil help in land breeze and sea breeze?
361607
Water heats and cools more slowly than land (soil).  This means that a pressure difference is created (wind blows from high to low pressure).  Pressure is lower on land during the daytime hours because the ground heats up more quickly than a neighboring body of water.  This creates a sea breeze (pressure is higher over the sea, so wind blows from sea to land).  Breezes are named according to the direction from which they come.  During the evening, land cools more quickly than the neighboring body of water, so pressure on land is higher, and wind blows from land to sea (land breeze.

plant more trees -> more ozone layer -> less UV rays -> cooler planet -> less melting of the polar sides of the earth

If there was no sunshine and no vertical air motion, cold air would settle to the surface, and temperature would increase going up in the atmosphere (and we'd all be dead soon ;) ). Because the ground is always radiating away heat (though often receiving more during daytime from the sun), there is a tendency for that to occur. Note the polar regions for example - during winter there is a semi-permanent temperature inversion (increase of temperature with altitude).\n\n2 things which counter the tendency for inversion are solar heating and vertical air motion.\n\nSunshine heats the ground, heat is conducted to air directly above the ground, and convection transports it up into the atmosphere. Cooling/heating of air by radiation is a slower process, so heat builds as spring and summer progress (at mid & high latitiudes) - especially in the lower atmosphere.\n\nAir moving vertically in the atmosphere (up or down) does so at the adiabatic lapse rate, which is 10 °C per km for dry air and less for saturated air (varies depending with temperature - averages about 6-7°C per km). Rising air cools at that rate, and subsiding air heats at the rate. Thus vertical air motions act to heat the lower atmosphere and cool the higher.\n\nThe combined effect of those, as a few people mentioned, is that temperature on the average decreases with altitude in the troposphere - at a rate of 6.5 °C per km (3.6 °F per 1000 ft.). Yet the lapse rate varies depending on conditions. Air during a clear night normally increases directly above the surface, strong inversions may occur during winter and ahead of warm fronts, and air can decrease at the dry adiabatic rate or briefly greater during a warm, sunny spring day. Etc.

Mudslides(flows can be helped and are caused from \nlack of plants,roots ,brush,trees ect on the sides of hills.With the escavation and creation of new\nhousing ect and for the clean hillside look.The\nimportance of the undergrowth of grass ,trees ect \nhave been depleted and not replaced.They have \nprograms for beaches and hillsides,even in foreign\ncountries that realise the importance of root and plant systems in hillside lands.The winding and \nweb patterned root systems of these plants,trees\nacts like a "net" and the plants themselves and erosion barrier.

They provide oxygen.\nThey make the soil fertile by the process known as rhizo-deposition.\nThey trap energy from sunlight, which could have otherwise heated up the planet.

Not really.  Ocean air is full of moisture and salt.  Moisture is not always good for your lungs.  And salt air leaves a nice sticky coating on everything.

Dust and sand is picked up from the soil as the wind passes over it.  It's more common to pick up dust and sand when:\n1) it's a deforested area with easy 'soil access' like a desert or plains (it doesn't happen in forests, or on grasslands);\n2) the soil exposed is dusty, sandy, or contains many small particles which can become windborne (it doesn't pick up gravel, or mud);\n3) the wind speed is high.\n\nI don't know exactly about 'abrasion' and 'weathering'.  in common usage, I'd say 'weathering' is ther main category which refers to changes in an object's surface in response to exposure.  Wethering can be caused by UV exposure (sunlight), acid rain, etc etc.  Abrasion is only caused by physical rubbing across things: sandstorms, rivers, etc.  Abrasion is IMHO a subset of weathering.

Actually, the micro-organisms in the soil emanate some gases when their lifeline, water reaches them. U dont need a rain for that smell. Water ur garden, u will start smellin it in 1 min.

This is not a simple answer to explain in one or two sentences, so I will give it in two parts.  First, the basic reason:\n\nOvernight, the breezy conditions that was on the surface is lifted upwards.  This is because the surface becomes very stable with the loss of daytime heating.  The wind will blow above this layer of stable air until after sunrise when daytime heating will bring the winds back to the surface.\n\nNow the more detailed explaination.  In general, wind at night will decouple from the surface if...\n-there is no strong subsidence (sinking of air) like what you will find behind a strong upper level disturbance.\n-there is strong mixing (unstable airmass) in and ahead of a storms system\n-there is strong surface winds with upper level support. (winds blowing from the same direction through a deep layer above the surface)\n-near ridge or hill tops\n\n(Assuming no major weather changes are expected to occur overnight...)  During the night, with the loss of daytime heating, we lose two parameters that will keep the winds blowing near the surface.  The thermal gradient usually becomes weak and the surface cools.  A thin stable layer forms near the surface as heat rises to the top of this layer.  With time, this layer will thicken as warm air continues to leave the lower layer and replace by cooler air.  The top of this layer, you will find a temperature inversion.  This layer will seperate the higher winds that has lifted higher in the atmosphere and the very stable and near calm winds below.  Once the sun rises, the surface warms and starts to mix.  This will break the inversion and the winds will start to mix back down to the surface.  \n\nThis is also the reason why during the winter, sometimes you will find ground fog forming in a thin layer during the evening and then lifting to a low cloud or stratus right by sunrise; then "burning" off during the day.

Should be simple.  Warm air rises because it is less dense than cool air.  Cool air rushes in to replace the rising warm air.\n\nPlug this simple formula into the complex real world of spinning globe, equitorial heat and polar regions & you get weather.

Dirt is what gets tracked into the house on your shoes.  Soil is the provider of life on much of the Earth.  Soil is formed from weathered rock- I suppose humans could artificially do this, but not on a cost effective scale to, let's say, have a hundred thousand acre corn field.

If you take yourself back to first principals, orographic precipitation is caused by air moving over hills and mountains.\n\nWe'll put convectional on hold for the moment.\n\nsnow may fall on seacoasts if the the temperature is cold enough.  In the UK snow on seacoasts is usually associated with northerly winds in winter.  The air is coming from a very cold place and it snows.  It snows at least as much inland. Although snow can fall on sea coasts, it is not typical.\n\nDew is condensation.  It is formed in situ. It is not precipitation at all.  Precipitation is something that falls from the sky.\n\nYou may remember daytime sea breezes and night time land breezes which are dependent on convection.  A few miles inland you can get sea breeze fronts and like other fronts, these may produce precipitation.

yes, of course the rotation of the Earth contributes to wind. The Earth is turning at about 25,000 mph. Air wants to stand still...obviously, air is moving to a high extent, or we would have 25,000 mph winds! But, friction, differences in topography (mountains, etc.) cause the air to move more slowly, so we have what is apparent wind. And, a bigger contributor is pressure difference in hot and cold air. The circulation of the Earth cause High pressure areas to spin in a clockwise motion in the northern Hemispher, and Low pressure areas to spin in a counter clockwise direction. When these two approach each other, pressure gradients cause air from the high to flow to the low creating winds...the stronger the differences in the low and high, the faster the wind to fill the low. Nature "abhors" a vacuum..and a low is a kind of vacuum. And yes, wind contributes greatly to tides. Wind pushes water in front of it, and when the pushed water comes ashore, the effects of wind are quite dramatic...such as a hurricane surge! Gravitational differences in the moon/Earth set up causes water to raise or lower, depending upon that cycle...a raise in water is a High Tide, and lowering is a Low Tide.  And that gravitational difference can be very dramatic....look at the tides along the Eastern seaboard. In some areas, the tidal differences are measured in a few feet, in others, the differences are as much as 20 feet! In some areas, there are NO tides.

It depends on a lot of things. Among them, you should consider the amount of erosion, presence of water, wind, all those weathering factors that could impact the rate at which dirt (I'm guessing) accumulates.

First, in the grand scheme of things, you are not that much closer to the sun. Do this: stand up, then shuffle your feet about a half inch to the left. You didn't move much - that's about how much closer you are to the sun.\n\nSecond, while you are correct about the warm air rising and the cold air sinking, you are forgetting the main factor that affects the heat we have on Earth - the ground. It is such an amazing heat keeper and releaser. The ground will radiate heat up towards us. However, it will cool as it goes up, which makes it, you guessed it, come back down for another round of heating. \n\nThird, in general, the higher you go, the less dense the air is, which also means it can not hold much water. Therefore, there isn't much humidity to help hold and retain heat, making it feel colder.\n\nHope these answers get you on your way to answering your question!

Wind is the roughly horizontal movement of air (as opposed to an air current) caused by uneven heating of the Earth's surface. It occurs at all scales, from local breezes generated by heating of land surfaces and lasting tens of minutes to global winds resulting from solar heating of the Earth. The two major influences on the atmospheric circulation are the differential heating between the equator and the poles, and the rotation of the planet (Coriolis effect).\n\nGiven a difference in barometric pressure between two air masses, a wind will arise between the two which tends to flow from the area of high pressure to the area of low pressure until the two air masses are at the same pressure, although these flows will be modified by the Coriolis effect in the extratropics.\n\nWinds can be classified either by their scale, the kinds of forces which cause them (according to the atmospheric equations of motion), or the geographic regions in which they exist. There are global winds, such as the wind belts which exist between the atmospheric circulation cells. There are upper-level winds, such as the jet streams. There are synoptic-scale winds that result from pressure differences in surface air masses in the middle latitudes, and there are winds that come about as a consequence of geographic features such as the sea breeze. Mesoscale winds are those which act on a local scale, such as gust fronts. At the smallest scale are the microscale winds which blow on a scale of only tens to hundreds of metres and are essentially unpredictable, such as dust devils and microbursts.\n\nWinds can also shape landforms, via a variety of eolian processes.
