Solution

Explanation: 2 Marks

When the sea gets heated, the water is converted into water vapour which rises up along with the air.
The amount of water vapour in the air is very less when the air above the land gets heated up because the amount of water present on land is small. So, the winds coming from the sea contain more water vapour as compared to those blowing from land to sea.
