How does differential heating creates sea breeze?
All about the capacity of an object to hold heat. During the day the land warms up more than the sea – it is darker, does not move etc. The air above the sea is relatively cool. This means that the air pressure over the sea is lower, and therefore the air over the land moves to fill the lower pressure area. At night, the land cools very quickly, but the sea maintains some of its heat. This means that there is a shift, and the air above the water is then relatively warm, and has a high pressure, so the air moves from sea to land. Diurnal breeze. I think that is what it is called. Glad I remembered something from my Geography degree all those years ago……
