What is the temperature difference in land and water breezes?
DylanH
the temperature of breezes over water is much cooler than over land because the sunlight is reflected of the water instead of absorbed by the land

How do you compare sea breezes and land breezes?
Sea breezes come from land and over the water, and happen in daytime. Land breezes come from water and over the land, and happen at night.
Why are sea breezes typically strongest during the afternoon?
The temperature difference between the land and the sea is greatest.
How does specific heat affect local winds?
Specific heat refers to the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance. In the context of local winds, specific heat affects the temperature of the land and water. Land has a lower specific heat compared to water, meaning it heats up and cools down faster. This difference in specific heat causes differential heating, leading to temperature differences and the formation of local wind patterns such as sea breezes and land breezes.
How are land breezes and sea breezes related?
Land breezes and sea breezes are both breeze, or cool air.
What is the weather like on coastlines?
The location of the seashore will make a difference to the average temperature. The time of year will also make a difference on the average temperature at the seashore. The shore in Maine will have a different average temperature than one in Florida.

Does earth's rotation cause land breezes or sea breezes?
Neither the Earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect. Land and sea breezes are caused by temperature differences.
Which property of water helps to produce sea breezes and land breezes?
vapour

How are sea breezes and land different?
A sea breeze is a breeze that is coming rom the direction of the sea. A land breeze is coming from the direction of the land, opposite of a sea breeze.
What are land breezes caused by?
the difference in specific heat capacity between land and water
Cool breezes at night caused by differences in heating and cooling rates of land and water?
'land breeze's' are cool breezes at night caused by differences in heating and cooling rates of land and water
What type of breezes occur because land cools off faster than water?
They are sea breezes.
Compare and contrasts sea breezes and land breezes?
Sea breezes come from the sea onto the land, and land breezes come from the land onto the sea.
