The picture in Figure shows tree line along the sea coast on an island near the equator. As shown, the tree tops are permanently bent in one direction. Are the trees bent towards the sea or away from it? Explain.

Explanation

Yes,
all the trees are bent towards the sea or away from it.

During the day time, the wind flows in the direction of sea to
land. This time, the land gets warmer more speedily as compared
to the sea. So, the air above the land becomes warm and lighter that rises up in the sky. Thus, the top
of the bent trees shows the moving direction of the wind from sea to land.
