उत्तर
Sea breezes and land breezes are caused by the mode of heat transfer called convection.
-
Sea Breeze (Daytime):
- During the day, the land heats up faster than the sea due to the difference in heat capacity.
- The warm air over the land rises, creating a low-pressure area.
- Cooler, denser air from the sea moves in to replace it, creating a sea breeze from the sea to the land.
-
Land Breeze (Nighttime):
- At night, the land cools down faster than the sea.
- The warm air over the sea rises, creating a low-pressure area.
- Cooler air from the land moves toward the sea, forming a land breeze from the land to the sea.
