Answer: Sea breeze

Step-by-step explanation:

  • During hot summer days, there is unequal heating of land and water.
  • The land heats up faster during the day and, the air above becomes warmer than above the ocean.
  • Since the warm air is lighter than the cooler air, it rises up and, the cooler air from the ocean moves towards the land.
  • This movement of air from the ocean to land is known as the sea breeze.
