Question

During the day, the Sun heats the ocean and the ocean stores this energy. During the evening the land cools and the ocean transfers the energy back to the air. As a result you get a cool breeze. Which direction would the breeze blow in this illustration?

Answer 1

The wind would blow east

Answer 2

During the daytime, the sea breeze occurs, that is, the cold breezes are blown from the sea to the landmass.

In contrast, during the night time, the land breezes occur, that is, the cold breezes are blown from the landmass towards the seaside.

It occurs due to the unequal heating rates of sea and land.
