Explanation:
➤Sea breeze
The opposite of a sea breeze is a land breeze. While sea breezes occur during the day, land breezes occur at night.
Sea water being at higher temperature, the air becomes lighter and rises up. Air from land being at higher pressure. So air from land starts blowing towards the sea and gives rise to a land breeze. Sea breeze: blowing breeze from sea towards land during the day is called sea breeze.
➤Land breeze
Land breezes usually occur at night because during the day the sun will heat land surfaces, but only to a depth of a few inches. At night, water will retain more of its heat than land surfaces because water has a high heat capacity.
Blowing breeze from land towards the sea is called a land breeze. They are formed during the night when sea water and land both lose heat, specific heat capacity of land being very low as compared to that of sea water, land loses heat energy fast and cools more rapidly as compared to the sea.
