Effect produced due to force is more when the surface
area is smaller and less when the surface area is larger.

Effects of atmospheric pressure
Atmospheric Pressure

Sea Breeze
At sea level the atmospheric pressure is more
As we go higher the pressure decreases. It becomes difficult
to breathe as we climb higher.
Atmospheric pressure

Land Breeze

Atmospheric Pressure changes according to time and place. .


Due to this difference in pressure, wind blows .
