How is land and sea breeze is formed ?


See then..... 1. After sunset, the land near the sea gets cooled faster and to a great extent as compared to the sea water. Hence, the air over the land cools quickly. The sea water does not cool quickly. Hence, the air over sea remains warm and rises. Therefore, the air pressure over the land becomes greater than that over the sea. As a result, a breeze from the land towards the sea is produced. This breeze is called a land breeze. 2. During day time, air over the land near the sea gets heated up faster and to a greater extent than the air over the sea. As a result, the warm air over the land becomes lighter and rises. Hence, the air pressure over the land becomes less. Hence, the air over the sea blows towards the lands. This breeze is called a sea breeze.
