What is land and sea breeze
  • 1 answers

Meghna Thapar 5 years, 10 months ago

When water is heated, the water near the flame gets hotter and rises up. The cold water from the sides moves down towards the source of heat. This water also gets hot and rises up. The hand above the flame also becomes hot due to convection.

The people living in coastal areas experiences sea breeze during the day time and land breeze during night.

During the day, the land gets heated faster than water so the air over the land gets hotter and rises up. The cooler air from the sea rushes towards the land and the warmer air from the land rushes towards the sea to complete the cycle. This cooler air from the sea is called sea breeze.

That is why the people living in coastal areas built the windows facing the sea to receive cool air.

At night, the same phenomena reverse. The water cools down more slowly than land. So the cool air from the land moves towards the sea. This is called land breeze.
