Offshore winds will blow the unwary captain onto shoals or reefs.
Onshore winds will blow the unwary captain away from his next landmark or landfall.
onshore means it is on land and offshore on sea.
When prevailing winds blow from onshore to offshore, they typically lead to a decrease in coastal temperatures, as the cooler offshore air replaces the warmer air over land. This phenomenon can also enhance coastal upwelling, which brings nutrient-rich waters to the surface, supporting marine life and fisheries. Additionally, these winds can contribute to drier conditions on land, as they may inhibit moisture accumulation.
Assab is an onshore oil field
onshore is oil well drilled on land. offshore is oil well drilled in sea/ocean.
I assume you mean "difference" and not "deference". Onshore means on dry land. Offshore means out in the water. Offshore drilling is out in the water, like in the Gulf of Mexico. Onshore drilling means on land, like in Wyoming and Texas.

Onshore/offshore dichotomy is way of allocating the revenue accrued from exploitation and exploration of crude oil. Such revenue is divided into onshore revenue (revenue accrued from oil drilled onshore (on land) and offshore revenue (accrued from oil drilled from littoral zone).The dichotomy implies the revenue from offshore crude belong to a sovereign nation and not to the coastal communities, and thus must be shared among the states that make up the nation, while onshore revenue belongs to the coastal communities (termed oil producing communities) on which land the crude is drilled.
No, not at all. Offshore only started when onshore became more difficult to find.
Offshore turbines tend to produce more electricity than onshore ones because offshore winds are typically stronger and more consistent. Offshore locations also offer more space for larger turbines, which can capture more wind energy. Additionally, offshore turbines are often placed in locations with fewer obstacles, resulting in higher wind speeds and increased energy production.
well the exact term of offshore is that is is not on this planet. it is very hard to get, and to find. on shore is that it is on earth and pretty local to get at. onshore is mostly were we get out resources :-)
it is usually the area having onshore winds. it is also usually in tandem with the forward motion of the storm.less friction from the water with onshore as opposed to offshore winds.
