How does this fact explain the existence of land breezes and sea breezes?

Land heats up and cools down faster than water due to differences in heat capacity. During the day, the land heats up more quickly than the sea, creating a low-pressure area over the land. As a result, wind blows from the sea to the land, creating a sea breeze. At night, the land cools down faster than the sea, causing a higher pressure over the land. This leads to a wind flow from the land to the sea, known as a land breeze.


When air is warm it rises and leaves an area of low pressure which becomes filled with sinking cold air. After a hot sunny day the land cools faster than the sea. What is likely to happen after a hot?

After a hot sunny day, the land will cool faster than the sea, causing the air above the land to cool and sink. This creates a high-pressure system over the land. Meanwhile, the air above the sea remains warmer, creating a low-pressure system. As a result, air will flow from the high-pressure land area to the low-pressure sea area, creating a sea breeze.

How is a sea breeze created?

A sea breeze is created when the temperature of the land rises faster than that of the sea during the day. As the air over the land heats up, it rises, creating a low pressure area. This lower pressure draws in cooler air from the sea, resulting in a wind that blows from the sea towards the land.

Why sea breeze happen near coastal area?

the sea breeze is basically the breeze which flows from the sea to the land. During the day, the land heats up faster than the water, which makes the air above it hot and it goes up. this creates a low pressure area over the land.....as sea is comparitively cooler, it has a high pressure area over it.so these winds from the sea blow to the land...... this is a sea breeze
