Question

Explain how convection and radiation are involved in the formation of a sea breeze.

Answer 1

Answer:

Convection is a process by which warm air which has faster moving molecules and is less dense rises while the cooler air drops down. It plays an important role in the formation of land and sea breeze. During the day, the sun warms up the air above land as well as sea. Since land heats up more quickly as compared to water ,the air above land heats up faster than that above sea. Consequently, the warmer air being less dense moves up. This place is filled by the cooler air above the water (or the sea) creating sea breeze.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Land and sea breezes are referred to as direct thermal circulations. ... During the day the land, which has a low specific heat and is a poor conductor, heats much more quickly than water. As the land warms up, the air next to it heats by conduction and rises, warming the air above the land by convection.
