Why does a cool breeze blow in the afternoon on the seashore?

Open in App
Solution

A cool breeze blows in the afternoon on the seashore because of the pressure difference between the air above the sea and the air above the land. In the afternoon, land heats up and the air pressure above it decreases. Consequently, the air pressure above the sea is more than that above the land. So, cool breeze blows from the sea to the land.
