Why do people love to fly the kites near the sea shore?
Solution
Flying kites is a recreational activity and a good pastime. The ease of flying kites solely depends on the direction and speed of the wind currents. Thus, earth’s movements leading to a lot of wind currents can affect a location to be suited or not suited for flying kites. In addition to the pressure of wind above and below the flying kites also have a significant impact.
Complete step-by-step solution:
Now, to answer this question one should focus on the natural phenomenon occurring at the sea shore which leads to an ease in flying kites.
The air pressure at sea is relatively high, which means that the air close to the coast flows at a lower pressure on land. This creates a sea breeze. The strength of the sea breeze is proportional to the difference in temperature between the sea and the land.
During the day on the coast or sea shores, the air above the land heats up faster and starts to rise. When this air rises, a low-pressure area will be formed, and the air above the sea will enter this low-pressure area. The air from one area to another generates wind. During the day, the wind blows from the ocean to the land. Therefore, flying a kite near the coast is easier than anywhere else.
Note: The kite consists of wings, cables and anchors. When air passes through the surface of the kite, it generates lift that helps the kite fly, creating low pressure on the wings and high pressure under the wings. The interaction with the wind will also cause horizontal resistance to the kite along the direction of the wing and the kite continues its flight.
