Question

Land breeze and sea breeze transfer heat through _____________ .

• A. conduction
• B. radiation
• C. convection
• D. transpiration

Answer 1

The correct option is C convection

Land breeze and sea breeze transfer heat through convection. Generally, the warm air rises up and the cold air comes down to occupy that space. The land quickly gains and loses heat.
During day time, the air above the land becomes hot and rises up, cold water from the sea rushes to occupy the space. In this way sea breeze occurs.
During evening or night, while the water retains its warmth, land cools down fast. This means that the air over the water is warmer, less dense and begins to rise and this leads to flow of air from land towards sea.
