Solution
Winds are created by the movement of air from one location to another. During the day, the air above the land heats up quickly and begins to rise. This results in the formation of a low-pressure area, into which air from the sea rushes. During the night, when water slowly cools, the air above the water is warmer than the air on land. As a result, air travels from land to sea, resulting in winds.
