Solution

  1. The flow of cold air from sea to land during the daytime is called Seabreeze.
  2. During the daytime, the land gets warmed more quickly than the seawater.
  3. Therefore, the air above the land is warmer, and lighter rises up.
  4. The cooler air over the sea being heavier blows towards the land, thus, causing a sea breeze.
