Answer:
Sea breeze and land breeze are actually Convection currents. During the day the land warms up more than the sea. The air over the land becomes hotter and Rises upwards. To take its place the cooler air from the Sea moves towards the land.

Warm stuff that is lighter (less dense) rises, while heavier (more dense) material sinks. Convection currents are circulation patterns that arise as a result of this movement in the atmosphere, ocean, and Earth's mantle.
Explanation:
- Convection, which is created by a temperature difference between the two sections of the fluid, can convey heat energy. Due to the temperature difference, hot fluids tend to rise and cold fluids prefer to sink. As a result, a convection current is formed within the fluid.
- The mantle is moved under the earth's surface by convection currents. These currents are largely caused by a highly heated substance found in the mantle's deepest layer that rises, cools, and falls periodically, repeating the heating and rising process.
- Convection currents are set in motion by three factors: the heating and cooling of the fluid, changes in the fluid's density, and gravity.
