A convection process of airflow between the land and water during day and night time is termed as sea and land breeze. It occurs along the coastal area and regions of water bodies and beaches.
The water is warmer than the land, and the wind blows toward the water during the night at beaches.
What is a land breeze?
During the nighttime, the land becomes cooler compared to the water bodies and the cooler air flows towards the warmer waterbody. The flow of air occurs due to differences in air pressure above the surfaces.
What is a sea breeze?
During the daytime, the water heats up slowly and is cooler compared to the land. The wind blows from the cooler water bodies towards the warmer land regions.
