Explanation of land breeze and sea breeze?

Answer 1

1.During the day, the sea breeze reduces the temperature of the adjacent coastland since it is a cool and an offshore wind. 2.At night, the adjacent coastland is warm since the breeze is offshore. 3.The offshore land breeze assists fishermen to go to sea at night in their small motorized boats.

Answer 2

Because they can significant cool a hot city, for instnce the Fremantle Doctor in Perth, WA, Australia. Sea breezes can also clear the air over cities of pollution from industry and motor vehicle traffic. They are also important to sailing and other vessels on waterways- a near still day can suddenly change as the the sea breeze "kicks in".

Answer 3

temperatures of air differ from place to place and we all know that hot air rises upwards, so, as soon as the hot air rises up, a region of low pressure is created as compared to high pressure around the colder air. According to a basic thumb rule, to create a state of equilibrium pressure zones need to be equated and thus the colder air occupies the space emtied by hotter ari resulting into a BREEZE.

Answer 4

The basic principle behind sea and land breezes is that land warms up faster than water during the day, but it cools quicker at night, whereas the water releases its heat over a longer period.

Sea breezes occur during the day while land breezes occur during the night.

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; you have now created a sea breeze. 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.

Answer 5

and sea breezes occur in areas where a large body of water is located next to land.

During the day the land becomes warmer than the water. As warm air rises over the land, cold from over the water moves in to fill the space, thus causing a sea breeze. However, during the night, because water holds heat longer than land, the air over the water is warmer than the air over the land. As the warm air over the water rises, the cold air over the land moves in to take it's place, thus causing a land breeze.

An easy way to remember the difference between and land breeze and a sea breeze is that a land breeze comes off the land and over the water and a sea breeze comes from over the water to over the land.

Answer 6

A land breeze occurs at night when the land cools faster than the ocean, causing air to move from the land towards the sea. A sea breeze occurs during the day when the land heats up faster than the ocean, causing air to move from the sea towards the land. These phenomena are driven by temperature differences between land and water.

Answer 7

more waves occur near Coastlines because that is where sea + land breezes are. And the more wind, the more waves!
