Explain the occurrence of land and sea breezes.

During day, the land is heated to a high temperature than the sea. Hot air expands and rises from land. A stream of cool air from the sea blows towards the land to replace the uprising air, hence sea breeze occurs.

At night the land cools faster because it is no longer heated by the sun. the sea retains the warmth because it is heated deeply. Warm less dense air rises from the sea surface and air from land blows to replace it leading to land breeze.
