that's a very vague question. I'll try my best to answer it.

First it depends where at you're talking about. At the Equator Air on land is colder than at sea. But as you go to either poles the water tends to get colder than the air on land.

What is a flow of air from the sea to the land?

It is an on-shore breeze.


Why do land breezes occur during the night and sea breezes during the day?

First: what is wind? Winds are caused by differences in air pressure. These differences can be caused by changing atmospheric conditions, such as conditions between day and night. Air in an area of high pressure will move to an area of lower pressure in order to reach equilibrium. This horizontal movement of air is wind. Wind is named for the direction it comes from and not to where its headed. During the day, land is warmed at a faster rate than water (since water has a higher specific heat and therefore requires more time to be heated). The air over land is heated as well, and rises in the atmosphere. At the same time, cooler air from the sea moves to replace the rising warm air. This is because the rising, warmer air leaves the land and creates an area of low air pressure, while air over the sea is in an area of higher air pressure. Simultaneously, the warm air from the land cools and drops away from the land. This air raises the air pressure over the sea. The winds moving to replace risen air from land are the sea breeze. At night, the opposite process occurs. Since water has a higher specific heat than land, water retains its heat for a longer period of time. Thus, the sea is warmer than the land at night. Warm air from the sea rises, becomes colder and denser, falling over the land. Cooled air replaces risen air from the sea. This wind is the land breeze.


What is the diff between land and sea breze?

Sea breezes are usually cold while land breezes are usually warm. (The land heats up the air, so that's why it is warm... and the water cools down the air above it so that is why it is usually colder.)


Describe how land breezes and sea breezes form?

Land breezes form at night when the land cools faster than the sea, causing the air over the land to become denser and sink. This sinking air flows towards the sea, creating a cool breeze. Sea breezes form during the day when the land heats up faster than the sea, causing the air over the land to rise. This rising air draws in cooler air from the sea, creating a breeze blowing from the sea towards the land.


Is it a land breeze or sea breeze when cooler air from over the water takes place of warmer air over 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.

Explain how the wind blows at the beach during the day and at night?

When you are on the beach, during the day the sun heats the land and makes the air above it hot this air rises and pulls in air from the sea to replace it, this is a sea breeze.At night the land cools down and when it is colder than the sea (which remains almost the same temperature day and night) then hot air rises from the sea surface and it pulls in air form the land, this is a land breeze.

Is the sea colder at night?

The sea temperature at night is not necessarily colder than during the day. It depends on various factors such as currents, weather patterns, and the specific location. However, in general, water temperatures tend to cool down slightly at night due to reduced sunlight and air temperatures.

The movement of hot and cold air between land and sea creates what?

The movement of hot and cold air between land and sea creates sea breezes and land breezes. Sea breezes occur during the day when the land heats up faster than the water, causing air to move from the sea towards the land. Land breezes happen at night when the land cools faster than the ocean, leading to air movement from land to sea.
