∙ 11y agoWhen land or sea is colder than the other opposing contributor of land or sea.
A land breeze is created when the land is cooler than the water such as at night and the surface winds have to be very light. When this happens the air over the water slowly begins to rise, as the air begins to rise the air over the surface of the ocean has to be replaced, this is done by drawing the air from the land over the water, thus creating a sea breeze. Usually land breezes are light and reach only 5 to 8 knots.
A sea breeze is created when the surface of the land is heated sufficiently to start air rising. As air rises, it is replaced by air from the sea . Sea breezes tend to be much stronger and can produce gusty winds as the sun can heat the land to very warm temperatures, thereby creating a significant temperature contrast to the water. Speeds of 10 to 20 knots is not uncommon for a sea breeze.

Why is a sea breeze thunderstorm considered a type of air mass thunderstorm?
A sea breeze may lead to a thunderstorm if the cool sea breeze forces warm air to rise which creates a convection cell that creates strong updrafts that lead to a thunderstorm. This is how a sea breeze may lead to the formation of a thunderstorm.
How does a sea breeze blow?
Air over the land heats up causing an up-draft. Air over the sea is cooler and therefore is drawn over the land to replace the rising up-draft. Thus a sea breeze is created which flows from the sea to the land. The opposite can happen at night when the sea air is warmer and rises, creating a land breeze which flows from land to sea.
How does a land breeze form?
the cold breeze starts at land, when it is at sea it becomes warm. Then it blows back to land where it becomes cold again
Compare the conditions that cause a sea breeze with those that cause a land breeze?
A land breeze is wind that originates from the clashing of winds on land (tornado), and sea breeze originates from the sea.
