Sea Breeze and Land Breeze

Sea Breeze and Land Breeze:

During the day, when air is heated by the heated land or by the water in the sea, it rises up. Since land gets heated faster than water, the air above the land too is heated faster than the air above the sea water. As the air rises, a low pressure area is created and air from the sea moves into this area. Thus, the movement of air takes place from the sea side to the land side. This is called sea breeze.
