What are land and sea breezes?
A. Land and Sea Breezes are local winds caused by the unequal diurnal heating and cooling of adjacent land and water surfaces; under the influence of solar radiation by day and radiation to the sky at night, a gradient of pressure near the coast is produced. During the day, the land is warmer than the sea and a breeze, the Sea Breeze, blows onshore; at night and in the early morning the land is cooler than the sea and the land breeze blows off shore.
