Solution

  1. Convection is a method of heat transfer in which medium particles actually move to the heat source, receive heat, and move away from it.
  2. In Sea breeze, during the daytime, land absorbs heat and becomes hotter.
  3. So that air above the land is replaced by cooler air coming from the sea.
  4. And in land breeze, at night, the land cools down faster than seawater.
  5. The warm air above the sea is replaced by cooler air from land.

Hence, Sea and land breeze are examples of convection of heat.
