Question

How does the atmosphere interact with land and oceans?

Answer 1

Some examples:

Land-atmosphere interactions.

Heating of land by sunlight warms the overlying atmosphere.

Precipitation from the atmosphere cools the land, increases the evaporation from the land, and can cause land erosion.

Ocean-atmosphere interactions.

Atmospheric winds increae the size of ocean waves.

Solar-driven evaporation from the ocean increases the humidty of the lower atmosphere.
