I believe it absorbs the water vapor accompanying the water.
The water is cooler than the land and air sinks over the water
If you swim in the water or touch the water, it is a bit warm compared to the air that surrounds you. This usually happens during night in a hot day.
During the day it is covered by water and exposed to air... as the tides move in or out.
land breeze - this happens at night
this happens because during winter the air gets cool and the humidity in the air (amount of water vapor in the air)condenses (water vapor turns back to water) as we know that the process of condensation happens when the temperature is cool,and the temperature is warm then evaporation happens.
it condenses on the ground to make dew
the water is cooler than the land, and air sinks over the water. ~Apex
The water rises for 6 hours then falls for 6 hours in a cycle.
A land breeze occurs when a large body of water is warmer than the adjacent land so the air over the water rises and pulls air from the land to the water. This oftern happens at night aftwr the land has cooled. A sea breeze is the opposite. During the day, the land heats up faster than the water and the warm rising air over land pulls the cooler air in from over the water. GOOGLE Convection Currents in the atmosphere
Generally the air is cooled, because the air is warmer than the water surrounding it. But during winter in Alaska, the water is cooler than the air. The water will create a fog that freezes on any surface.
During the day, the air over the land heats up faster than the air over the water, causing it to rise and creating a low-pressure area. Cooler air from the sea then moves in to fill this gap, creating a sea breeze that blows from the water towards the land.
It is a sea breeze when cooler air from over the water replaces warmer air over the land. Sea breezes occur during the daytime when the land heats faster than the water, causing the warm air over the land to rise and be replaced by the cooler air from the sea.
