During the evening the land cools faster than the seawater. The air over sea is warmer and has a lower air pressure than the air over the land. The cooler air from the land side blows in the directio?

What causes land breezes?
At night, the land cools faster than the sea, due to specific heat. So the air above the land sinks and blows towards the ocean, causing land breezes.During the day, air rising from the land draws in cooler air from the ocean, creating a sea breeze.
What cause sea breezes?
During the day, the land heats up-faster than the sea. Cooler sea air moves towards the land. This is called a sea breeze.
What are differences between land breeze and sea breeze?
They are opposites. A sea breeze occurs when the land is warmer than the sea. Warm air rises over land, creating low pressure that draws in more air from the sea. At the same time cooler air sinks over the sea. A land breeze reverses this process, with air rising over the warm water, drawing air in from the cooler land.
What time of day does land breeze occur?
Land breezes occur during the time of night.
What is cause of a sea breeze?
The air over the land is warmed and rises, to a greater temperature than that over the sea. This produces a convection current, with cooler air flowing in from over the sea to replace that rising from the land. At night the land cools more than the sea, so the action reverses to produce a land-breeze, blowing off the land.

When a sea breeze occurs what temperature is it at?
A sea breeze can occur at nearly any temperature. It is caused when the land is warmer than the sea, causing air to rise above the land and cause a low pressure zone over the land that is filled from cooler air from the sea.
Why sea breezes happens at the day?
During the daytime, in hot sunshine, the land heats up more quickly than the sea. Warm air rises above the land, as it is displaced by cooler air moving in from the sea causing sea breezes.
What conditions are necessary for a land breeze and a sea breeze to form?
Land breezes are created when the land is cooler than the water such as at night and the surface winds are very light. Sea breezes are created when the surface of the land is heated sufficiently to start air rising and as it rises it is replaced by air from the sea.
Is it a land breeze or sea breeze when cooler air from over the water takes place of warmer air over land?
Sea breeze.
