Answer:
1) The specific heat of water is very high. It is about five times as that of sand.
2) Hence the heat energy required for the same rise in temperature by certain massof water will be nearly five times than that required by same mass of sand.
3) Similarly, a certain mass of water will give out nearly five times more heat energy than that given by sand of the same mass for the same fall in temperature.
4) As such, sand (or earth) gets heated or cooled more rapidly as compared to water under similar conditions.
5) Thus, a large difference in temperature is developed between the land and sea due to which land and sea breezes are formed.
6) These breezes make the climate near seashore moderate.
