It depends on the time of day. The ground heats up and cools more quickly than the sea. When the ground has warmed up more than the sea then air moves towards the land from the sea and heads upwards in a thermal and then downwards again out to sea. At night the opposite happens, as the ground cools the cold air flows down to the sea and again upwards in a thermal. Night sea breezes are usually less windy than in the day as the sun is not pumping energy into the system

∙ 12y agoLand breezes are caused by convection. These breezes occur where large bodies of land and water meet. The different rates at which land and water heat and cool cause these winds. During the day land warms up faster than the water in lakes or oceans. At night time the water heats faster than water because the water has absorbed more heat than land which is why it has land breeze at night.

What are cool breezes at night caused by differences in heating and cooling?
land breezes r caused in the night.
What is an area of land whose boundaries are determined by the direction of water flow called?
The answer is Water Shed
When flow can reverse its direction regularly it is called?
Alternating Current (AC) reverses its flow constantly, unlike DC (constant current) which flows in one direction only.
What cause sea breezes?
During the day, the land heats up-faster than the sea. Cooler sea air moves towards the land. This is called a sea breeze.
Differential heating of land and water?
unequal heating of land and water results to breezes breezes are of two types: sea breeze and land breeze it also results to moving air or wind i am doing a project in class what i need to do make a plan!!!
What direction do sea breezes blow?
they blow from the sea and then out to land
How are sea breezes and land breezs are alike?
They both flow from high pressure to low.
