Sea and land breezes are caused because what?

Answer 1

Convection currents. The land warms up quicker than the sea under sunshine, the air ove it warms and rises sucking air in from over the sea. (Sea Breeze).

A Land (or 'Katabatic') Breeze is the reverse process usually at night time, when the land cools more than the sea.

Answer 2

When land or sea is colder than the other opposing contributor of land or sea.

waves touch the ground
A different rate of temperature is what causes sea and land breezes.

Answer 3

Land and Sea breezes are caused by the hydrogen atom in the molecule of water to hold immense amounts of energy and heat. Basically the water stays hotter longer so you have different pressure zones, the air above the water will be slightly less dense causing it to rise and the air over the land will come in to replace the air above the water, or vise versa(land is warmer which causes a sea breeze)

Answer 4

Winds are caused by the warmth of the Sun. The whole thing is more complex, but the simple version is that as it warms areas, the air gets less dense and cooler air moves toward this low pressure, causing winds.

Answer 5

Land breezes and sea breezes are both caused by differential rates of heat gain and nighttime heat loss.

Answer 6

Sea and land breezes are caused by the difference in the rates of heating between the land and the ocean. The bigger the difference in temperature creates stronger winds.

Answer 7

Sea and land breezes are caused because the land heats and cools more slowly than the water.

Answer 8

Convection, warm air rising and cool air falling

Answer 9

the differential heating of land and sea by the Sun results in the movement of air.
