The movement of air from one region to the other creates winds. In coastal regions during the day, the air above the land gets heated faster and starts rising. As this air rises, a region of low pressure is created and air over the sea moves into this area of low pressure. So the direction of wind during the day would be from sea to land. At night, both land and sea start to cool. Since water cools down slower than land, the air above water would be warmer than the air above land. So wind would blow from land to sea. Thus wind is caused by the movement of air caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere in different regions of the Earth.
