Temperatures of adjacent coastlands are reduced when on - shore winds blow over cold currents because the
current increases the total rainfall in such areas
current influences the temperature of the prevailing winds
rainfall in sunny areas is usually heavy
current influences the air pressure
Explanation
Temperatures of adjacent coastlands are reduced when on-shore winds blow over cold currents because the current influences the temperature of the prevailing winds. When on-shore winds blow over cold currents, they bring cooler air to the coast, reducing temperatures.
