उत्तर

This statement is False.

Explanation:

When wind flows from land to the ocean, it is typically nighttime. This phenomenon is known as a land breeze. During the night, the land cools down faster than the ocean, creating higher pressure over the land and lower pressure over the ocean. This pressure difference causes the wind to blow from the land (high pressure) to the ocean (low pressure).

During the day, the opposite happens and the wind blows from the ocean to the land, creating a sea breeze. This occurs because the land heats up faster than the ocean, causing a lower pressure over the land and higher pressure over the ocean.
