Land and Sea Breeze

Coastal areas experience interesting phenomena called Land Breeze and Sea Breeze.

• During the day , the land gets heated faster .
• The air over the land also gets heated and rises up .
• To fill the gap, air from the sea rushes in , while the hot air over the land moves towards the sea.
• The air from the sea is known as Sea Breeze .
• At night , water cools down more slowly than land, and so the opposite phenomenon takes place.
• Air over the sea rises up , and cool air from the land rushes in to take its place.
• This air from the land towards the sea is known as the Land Breeze .
