There are two types of breezes which normally occur. They are land breeze and sea breeze. The heating capacity of water helps in the formation of land and sea breeze.
The heating capacity of water is greater of that then land, due to which the air above the water is comparatively warmer and it rises up, a blank space is created and the cold breeze from the land gushes in, forming
land \: breeze
While, due to water's specific heating and cooling temperatures, it cools much more slower than land. So due to the difference in the air pressure of land and water, air gushes in to the land from the sea. Therefore causing a
sea \: breeze
So this whole cycle occurs, due to differences in air pressures, created by the differing heating capacity of water and land.
