Solution

Sea Breeze : 1.5 Marks
Land Breeze : 1.5 Marks

Sea Breeze is experienced in the daytime when cool air from the sea blows towards the land. This happens because during day, the land gets heated quicker than sea and thus the air above it gets heated. This heated air rises which gets replaced by the cool air from the sea.

During night, the land gets cooled down quicker as compared to the sea. The air above the sea is thus hotter than the air above the land. This air rises up and is replaced from the relatively cooler air from the land in the form of Land breeze.
