Along Coastlines, warmer air relates to lower air pressure, thus air flows from the higher-pressure, cooler setting into the area of lower air pressure. If the land is warmer, it has lower air pressure. Air over the sea would therefore be cooler and thus have higher atmospheric pressure, and the air will naturally from from the higher pressure (in this case, from over the ocean) to the lower pressure (over the warmer land).
So you get a wind from the water onto the land, or a sea breeze.

At what time of the day does a sea breeze happen?
A sea breeze happens during the day because the hotter air from the land rises when the cooler air from the sea slips underneath and forms a sea breeze. Then at night the opposite happens which is called a land breeze. The land is cooler than the ocean making the warmer ocean air rise up the allow the cool land air underneath and this creates what is called a land breeze. :)
What landforms are in the Coastal plains in Georgia?

What forms during the day because water heats slower than land?
Air moves from places of higher pressure to lower pressure, so you'll get wind or sea breeze.
What forms when heated air expands and cooler air sinks below the warmer air?
Convection currents
When do sea and land breezes occur?
A sea breeze forms during the day! READ THIS!!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------When the day breaks, the land will get heated quickly than the water. Hence the low pressure area is created in the land region. Then the cool air above the sea region flows to the low pressure area and such flow is a Sea breeze.
Sea breeze forms when?
A sea breeze forms when air over land becomes warmer than the air over the nearby water.
What forms a land breeze?

Why does the ocean have a breeze?
