Question

Explain the Sea breeze and Land breeze.


Open in App
Solution

Sea breeze:-

  1. During the daytime, the land gets heated more quickly than the sea.
  2. Thus the temperature over the land surfaces increases heating the surrounding air and creating low pressure.
  3. At the same time on the top of the sea, a high-pressure area develops.
  4. Due to the difference in pressure air flows from the high pressure over the sea to the low pressure over the land.

Land breeze:-

  1. During the nighttime, the land gets cooled more quickly than the sea.
  2. The temperature over the sea surface is more than the temperature over the land surface.
  3. This creates a low-pressure area over the sea and high-pressure area over the land.
  4. Due to differences in pressure air flows from land to sea
