Land breeze: 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. 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.
They are formed during the day time when land and sea both are heated equally by the sun, but land has very low specific heat capacity as compared to the sea, so it is heated up more quickly, thus air above land due to heat becomes lighter and rises up. Thus pressure decreases and cold and humid air above the sea blowing towards land.
