Question

Which natural phenomenon causes land and sea breeze.

Answer 1

Land breeze:

1. A breeze blowing from the land towards the sea, especially at night due to the relative warmth of the sea
2. When the sun sets, both the land and the sea begin to cool. Because the heat capacity of the land differs from that of the sea, it cools down faster.
3. As a result of the higher temperature above the sea compared to the land, a low-pressure situation develops over the sea. As a result, air flows from the land to the sea, which is known as the land breeze.
4. Land breeze is a natural phenomenon that demonstrates that air movement occurs as a result of uneven heating on Earth.

Sea breeze:

1. Because of the unequal heating rates of land and water, sea breezes occur during hot summer days.
2. The sea breeze is a natural phenomenon that demonstrates that air movement occurs as a result of uneven heating on Earth.
3. As a result, the temperature over the land surface rises, heating the surrounding air.
4. Expansion occurs in the less dense warm air, resulting in the formation of a low-pressure area over the land.
5. A high-pressure area forms on the sea's surface at the same time. Because of the pressure difference, air flows from the high pressure over the sea to the low pressure over the land.
6. This movement of air from the sea to the land is known as the sea breeze.
