(a) During daytime, the land gets heated faster than the water. The air over the land becomes hot and rises up. The cooler air from the sea rushes in towards
the land to take its place. The warm air from the land moves towards the sea to complete the cycle. The air from the sea is called the sea breeze. To receive the cooler sea breeze, the windows of the houses in coastal areas are made to face the sea.

(b) The wind that flows from land to sea after sunset is called the land breeze.
