Sea and land breeze are caused because?

Answer 1

Land breezes occur at night. The land is cooler than the water at night, so the warm air over the water rises and the cool air moves in over the water to replace it. It then warms and rises again. This happens over and over again throughout the night.

Sea breezes are the opposites of land breezes. They happen during the day, so the water is cooler than the land. The warm air over the land rises and the cold air moves in to replace it. Then, like the land breezes, the cold air gets warmed and rises and the cold air over the water takes its spot. It is a continuous cycle throughout the day.

The reason land is warmer during the day is because soil heats faster than water. However, it is cooler at night because water holds its heat longer than soil.

Answer 2

Sea and land breezes are caused by the differential heating and cooling rates of land and water. During the day, land heats up faster than water, creating low pressure over the land. This draws cooler air from the ocean, resulting in a sea breeze. At night, the land cools down more rapidly, creating high pressure over land and leading to a land breeze as air moves from land to sea.
